Bombardier Inc. sold its 148-hectare Downsview factory and airport site in Toronto to the Public Sector Pension Investment Board in 2018 for redevelopment, and the runway will close sometime in the 2022-2023 to facilitate a major real estate redevelopment. Production of the Global 7500 (pictured), Global 6500, Global 5500 and new Global 8000 is going to move from Downsview to a new factory on the northwest side of Toronto Pearson Airport (CYYZ). All new Globals are flown "green" at YZD and flown to Montreal (YUL) for completion unless another completion center is specified by the customer. This photo is copyright © Kenneth I.
