In its 2014-year end statement, Bombardier Aerospace reported its employee count had reduced by 3,700, delivered 290 aircraft and held orders for 282 more and also claimed "strong long-term potential". In July of that year, Bombardier reorganized itself in response to underperformance President Guy Hachey retired and Bombardier Aerospace was split into three divisions: business aircraft commercial aircraft and aerostructures and engineering services, while 1,800 jobs were cut. In January 2014, 1,700 employees were cut from Bombardier Aerospace due to a 19 percent drop in orders in 2013. In 2015, the Canadian Government announced that it would not approve the use of jets at the airport and the proposal was shelved. In April 2013, Canada's Porter Airlines placed a conditional order for 12 CSeries aircraft, with options for another 18 this was conditional on jets being allowed to use Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport off downtown Toronto.

In November 2012, Bombardier signed the largest deal in its history with Swiss business jet operator VistaJet for 56 Global series jets for a total value of $3.1 billion, including an option for an additional 86 jets, for a total transaction value of $7.8 billion. In October, a joint development deal between Bombardier and a South Korean consortium consisting of Korea Aerospace Industries and Korean Air Lines was revealed, to develop a 90-seater turboprop regional airliner, targeting a 2019 launch date. On 30 September 2013, it broke ground on its permanent facility, due to open late 2014. In January 2012, the firm began manufacturing simple structures, such as flight controls for the CRJ series, from its first facility in Africa, near Casablanca, Morocco. Aircraft covered by the programme included the Bombardier CRJ-series, CSeries and Q-series and the Comac ARJ21 and Comac C919. The intention was to break the near- duopoly of Airbus and Boeing. signed a framework agreement for a long-term strategic cooperation on commercial aircraft. On 24 March 2011, Shanghai-based Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China ( Comac) and Bombardier Inc. The Montreal manufacturing complex was redeveloped by Ghafari Associates to incorporate lean manufacturing for the CSeries.
The launch customer for the CSeries, Lufthansa, signed a letter of intent for up to 60 aircraft and 30 options in 2008.
Bombardier claimed the CSeries would burn 20% less fuel per trip than these competitors, which would make it still about 8% more fuel efficient than the Boeing 737 MAX, which was introduced in 2017. The CSeries, which Bombardier offered in several size versions, initially competed with the Airbus A318 and Airbus A319 the Boeing 737 Next Generation 737-600 and 737-700 models and the Embraer 195. It also manufactured the Bombardier 415 amphibious water-bomber (in Dorval and North Bay), and the Global Express and the Challenger lines of business jets. By the start of the 2010s, its most popular aircraft included its Dash 8 Series 400, CRJ100/200/440, and CRJ700/900/1000 lines of regional airliners although the company was devoting most of its Research and Development budget to the newer CSeries. The aerospace company accounts for over half of Bombardier Inc.'s revenue. The sales of Canadair commuter jets and airborne surveillance systems, Learjet business aircraft and Short Brothers C-23 Sherpa cargo planes were growing at that time. Canadair, Learjet and Short Brothers cost US$ 215 million to acquire and produced sales of US$1.3 billion in 1990. This was followed in 1990 by the acquisition of the bankrupt American company Learjet, a manufacturer of business jets headquartered in Wichita, Kansas and finally the money-losing Boeing subsidiary, de Havilland Aircraft of Canada based in Toronto, Ontario in 1992. David Coleal, former President for Business AircraftĪfter acquiring Canadair in 1986 and restoring it to profitability, in 1989 Bombardier acquired the near-bankrupt Short Brothers aircraft manufacturing company in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
