The wealthy want business jets, even as economy softens, says Bombardier CEO

CEO Éric Martel said Thursday that business jets are not among the sluggish markets threatening to drag down Canada's economic output this year.

Charter services are becoming increasingly popular, even if ownership by businesses and the ultra-wealthy may be slowing slightly, Martel said. One analyst on the call noted the problems confronting rival Gulfstream Aerospace, which reported lower than expected earnings last year and weaker forecasts for 2023.

The banking crisis that rattled markets prompted a pause in new bookings earlier this year, but only for a few weeks, Martel said. Business at Bombardier's service centres across six continents also remains "very high," contributing to its revenue boost, he said.
