After the three sales of sub-divisions, the Bombardier Group wants to cut around 2.500 employees in the aviation sector in Canada. The background is the corona crisis.

Bombardier has significantly reduced its aviation division in recent years. The series C-Series, CRJ and Dash 8-400 were sold to Airbus, Mitsubishi and Viking. Now around 2.500 jobs are on the brink, as the company announced on Friday.

Production in Canada is primarily affected. The dismantling is to be carried out in the course of 2020. In general, major upheavals are pending, because the entire rail division could be sold to Alstom in France.
