Bombardier expects to deliver up to 155 business aircraft in 2019

(Reuters) - Canadian plane and train maker Bombardier Inc (TO:BBDb) said on Thursday it expects to deliver 150 to 155 business aircraft in 2019.

The company said the growth will be driven by the entry-into-service of its global 7500 aircraft, which is sold out through 2021.

Bombardier also expects to deliver two new longer-range variants of its large-cabin business jets, the Global 6500 and 5500, at the end of next year, at a time when demand for corporate planes is recovering.

Sales of these new business jets will play a key role in Bombardier's five-year turnaround plan to boost revenue and margins by 2020.
