Inaugurated in June 2014, the Stelia Aerospace plant in Mirabel, Québec, one of the group’s two sites in North America, celebrated its fifth anniversary recently and the delivery of its 50th Bombardier Global 7500 jet fuselage section.

Stelia North America specialises in the design and assembly of complete central fuselage sections for the Global 7500 jet, entirely equipped with the hydraulic and electrical systems.

The company’s North American teams moved to the Mirabel site in 2014 and after extension works in January 2019, all 250 employees are now under the same roof.

Stelia has been a partner of the Canadian aircraft manufacturer for eight years, from the design and delivery of the first sections coming from Méaulte in the North of France and destined for the test aircraft, to the first flight of the Global 7500 aircraft in November 2016 and the recent type certification by the Canadian transport authorities, the FAA and the EASA.

Cédric Gautier, CEO of Stelia Aerospace, said: “We are very happy to celebrate the fifth anniversary of our site in Quebec, which represents Stelia Aerospace in Canada. We are also proud to associate with this event our customer Bombardier, with whom we have developed strong links since 2011, thereby developing our business in Canada.

“The Global 7500 is a fantastic and thriving aircraft, supporting job creation and good economic health in the region. The delivery of the 50th Global 7500 jet fuselage section marks a major milestone in the history of our subsidiary. It demonstrates once again the quality of our team’s work and provides a great sense of pride among them.”

Michel Ouellette, senior vice president, program management and engineering, Bombardier Aviation added: “Stelia Aerospace is a world-class supplier that has worked closely with Bombardier in the development, certification and entry-into-service of the Global 7500, Bombardier's flagship aircraft. The Global 7500 aircraft is changing the landscape, revolutionising the market and shaping the future of business aviation and we are delighted that Stelia Aerospace has become the largest local employer in our supply chain.”

With a turnover of €2,2 billion and 7,000 employees worldwide (4,500 in France and 2,500 in North America, Tunisia and Morocco), Stelia Aerospace is one of the world leaders in the field of aerostructures, pilot seats and business class and first class passenger seats.
