Bombardier hiring 1,000 workers as part of ramp-up for Global 7000 business jet
MONTREAL — Bombardier Inc. is planning to go on a hiring spree in Montreal by adding about 1,000 people in the coming months as part of the production ramp-up of its new Global 7000 business jets, according to a source.
More details are expected to be disclosed Friday, said the source who didn’t want to be identified because he’s not at liberty to discuss the company’s plan.
Bombardier spokesman Mark Masluch said the company will confirm its production and completion strategy for the jet at an event on Friday.
“I can’t confirm any numbers right now but certainly the Global 7000 is going to be a key pillar of hiring for Bombardier business aircraft in Montreal,” Masluch said.
