Evidence of maturity
On September 2 2026, MHI and Bombardier announced an agreement for Bombardier to acquire MHICA Mississauga assets, subject to approvals and closing conditions, with closing expected later in 2026. The approximately 750-person operation is to receive transitional MHI support; completed transfer is not established.
Commercial availability
MHICA describes Challenger 3500 wings and Global 5500/6500 wing and fuselage work. Existing programme delivery is the stated continuity objective during the announced asset transition.

MHI and Bombardier announced an agreement on September 2 2026 for Bombardier to acquire MHICA's Mississauga assets, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, with closing expected later in 2026. The proposed transition covers aerostructure manufacturing and approximately 750 employees, with interim MHI support after closing intended to maintain aircraft-program continuity. It is an announced transaction, not verified completion.
