Bombardier flies in Bangladesh

Article Abstract:

Montreal, Quebec-based Bombardier Inc. is expected to gain a strong foothold in Bangladesh following its lease agreement with new Bangladeshi carrier GMG Airlines Ltd. The lease agreement, which is part of Bombardier's $24-million investment in the airline, includes the five-year lease of three used Dash 8-100 turbo-props. Bombardier is being paid C$61,000 per month for GMG's use of its planes, according to GMG managing director Shahab Sattar. Aside from helping in launching GMG in the Bangladeshi market, the agreement also has stirred the country's national carrier, Bangladesh Biman, spurring potential improvements in Bangladesh's airline market.

Ottawa may hike Bombardier subsidies

Article Abstract:

Bombardier Inc., a leading aerospace company headquartered in Montreal, could receive higher export subsidies from the federal government to compete better with Brazilian rival Empresa Brasiliera de Aeronautica (Embraer). The two jet manufacturers are involved in a trade dispute at the World Trade Organization, charging each other of unfair subsidy in its aerospace exports to gain advantage in the regional jet market. Bombardier also claims that it should be granted with export subsidies similar to the program received by Embraer from the Brazilian government.

Quebec nurses change course, call off strike

Article Abstract:

Quebec nurses decided to call off an illegal strike to review plans and focus instead on less intense strategies to pressure government. Internal dissension and the prospect of losing more wages led the Quebec Federation of Nurses to regroup, although nurses garnered public sympathy and increased visibility following the strike. A tentative agreement reached during the strike did not satisfy nurses because of the absence of substantial monetary gains and a back-to-work clause that would have cushioned the strikers' financial conditions.
