Your statement is incorrect in the way it was worded..it appeared, by your own wording, the plant had not been upgraded etc..it actually is a Bombardier plant as many of the old buildings were gutted and retro fitted with modern equipment..Bombardier has been making a go of it since 1990.
How long before Airbus starts beuling the C series in Europe I wonder. Buying the Belfast plant would be another step towards that.
