Bombardier Details 2015 Performance 2015 was a fairly rough year for Canadian business jet airframer Bombardier. It saw a number of problems and challenges that raised head including the slipping of entry-into-service for the Global 7000 to the second half of 2018. The Learjet 85 program was cancelled on October 28th due to lack of sales following constant market weakness. They also had some cancelled orders to go with it and on top of that deliveries were down in 2015 overall.
For 2015, Bombardier delivered 199 business jets and for this year that figure is expected to drop to around 150 shipments. Revenues slipped slightly from 7.2 billion in 2014 to around 6.996 billion in 2015. The breakdown in shipments of business jets are as follows: 73 Global 5000/6000s, 68 Challenger 300/350s, 25 Challenger 605/650s, one Challenger 850 and 32 Learjet 70/75s accounting for the 199 deliveries. This figure was slightly down on the 204 shipments made in 2014. Sales also fell from 181 jets in 2014 to 119 in 2015.
