MONTREAL — While the business jet market will take "several years" to return to pre-pandemic levels, Bombardier Inc. plans to capitalize on growth of after-sales service to achieve its goal of US$7.5 billion in sales in 2025.

Its operating profit is expected to reach US$1.5 billion while the adjusted operating margin target has been set at 20 per cent. "We know exactly where we are and (our model) is more and more predictable," CEO Eric Martel said during an investor presentation. "Revenues will be more balanced thanks to the after-sales segment." The 2025 targets are "rather ambitious," said Citigroup analyst Stephen Trent in a note to clients. "The market will have to assess whether (the new management of) Bombardier can achieve its long-term goals compared to the failure of the previous team."
