Bombardier Aerospace announced that the aft fuselage
of its new Global 7000 and Global 8000 executive jets will
be built at Querétaro,
Mexico.

“Our Querétaro site is already producing large components for several of our current production business aircraft, including
the Global 5000 and Global 6000 jets,” said Steve
Ridolfi, president, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “Its participation in the Global 7000 and Global 8000 jet programme will

Querétaro currently produces the aft fuselage

the Learjet 85 aircraft’s
major composite structures, including fuselage lay-up and sub-system
installation, wiring harness fabrication and installation, wing assembly, and horizontal
and vertical stabilizer assemblies.

“We are very proud to be part of the Global 7000 and Global 8000 aircraft
