Bombardier puts Belfast aerospace business up for sale
"Bombardier, the Canadian-based aerospace and rail manufacturer, is planning to sell its operations in Northern Ireland.
The decision to dispose of the Belfast-based aerostructures business comes at a sensitive time, as the UK government continues to struggle with Brexit, in large part due to the impact of the planned departure from the EU on Northern Ireland.
Bombardier is the province’s biggest employer with a workforce of about 4,500 and has previously warned of “serious consequences” from a hard Brexit for its operations in Belfast."
