A number of Canadian-based companies announced sales or investments at 2018 Farnborough International Airshow including Bell Helicopter, Bombardier, the Bombardier/Airbus strategic partnership, CAE, CMC Esterline, Hroux-Devtek, MDA, Pratt & Whitney Canada and, Safran Landing Systems.
As part of their efforts to promote Canada as an investment destination for global companies, Minister Bains and his colleagues held meetings with a number of leaders from Canadian and international aerospace companies.
