Bombardier (TSX:BBD.A) has expanded its services business with the acquisition of Velocity Maintenance, an aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul company based in Delaware.
Velocity bolsters Bombardier’s offerings with a 35,000-square-foot hangar at the Wilmington, Delaware airport, as well as 14 repair trucks across the US.
The terms of the acquisition, completed through Bombardier’s US subsidiary, Learjet Inc., were not disclosed in the interest of confidentiality.
Paul Sislian, executive vice president, aircraft sales and Bombardier aftermarket services, added context to the deal in Monday’s news release, noting that “Velocity Maintenance Solutions’ capabilities and customer-focused culture make it an excellent fit for Bombardier. We are thrilled to welcome their talented team and support them as they continue to provide exceptional service to their clients.”
“This acquisition is part of our commitment to continually elevate our service standards, a mindset that has brought us number one rankings in industry surveys for two consecutive years,” Sislian added, referring to Bombardier’s number one ranking in AIN’s 2024 and 2025 Product Support surveys and in Pro Pilot’s 2025 Corporate Aircraft Product Support Survey.
The deal comes less than two weeks after US president Donald Trump threatened to decertify Canadian‑made planes and impose a 50 per cent tariff on Canadian aircraft sold into the US, alleging that Ottawa blocked the certification of several US-built Gulfstream business jets.
