Bombardier permitterer

Canadian aviation giant to cut 1800 jobs


Troubled Canadian aviation giant Bombardier is to cut 1800 jobs in a major reorganisation.

"This marks another step in Bombardier's evolution," said Pierre Beaudoin, the company's president and chief executive officer, on Wednesday.

Beaudoin said the overhaul, to be completed by January 1 next year, would reduce costs and overhead.

A spokeswoman for the Montreal-based company, Isabelle Rondeau, confirmed the size of the cuts.

Beaudoin said in his press release the reorganisation - in particular of the company's Aerospace branch - "will enable us to be more agile and flexible in addressing customer needs, while increasing our focus on growth areas".

Among other recent woes, Bombardier had less than anticipated demand for its CSeries medium-range planes, which for a time were plagued by costly engine problems.
