El director general de Bombardier México, Flavio Díaz Mirón, informó que México ganó la sede para fabricar el Learjet 85, gracias a que la productividad de los mexicanos fue superior en 25% a la observada en Belfast y Montreal.
Durante su participación en el Foro México Summit, de The Economist, el directivo de la empresa constructora de trenes y aviones informó que un primer prototipo de compuesto de carbono se construirá en Querétaro, gracias al apoyo de los gobiernos federal y estatal.
Subrayó que en los últimos cinco años se ha avanzado en México en el desarrollo de la aviación, pues de 61 empresas de manufactura ahora hay 164, además de ampliar su presencia de tres a 16 entidades, lo que pulverizó los esfuerzos de crear corredores industriales del sector.
Por ello, Díaz Mirón llamó a integrar una política de apoyo, con participación de los gobiernos estatales y municipales, que permita el desarrollo de centros de educación especializados en ingeniería y atiendan demandas futuras.
En los próximos 10 años, abundó, se estima que se necesiten construir 11 mil 500 aviones ejecutivos y 12 mil 400 unidades comerciales a nivel global, lo que podría representar una oportunidad para el país.

Bombardier jet to be assembled in Mexico
2009-10-09
Mexico City,— Flavio Diaz Miron, CEO for Bombardier Mexico, informed Mexico was chosen as the site to assemble Learjet 85, thanks to the fact that productivity by Mexicans was 25% higher than that in Belfast and Montreal.
During his speech in Mexico Summit Forum, organized by The Economist, Mr. Diaz Miron, head of this company which manufactures rail vehicles and aircraft, informed that the first carbon compound prototype will be built in Queretaro, thanks to the support granted by federal and state governments.
He stressed Mexico’s the advancement in the last five years in aviation development, which has gone from 61 to 164 manufacturing enterprises; presence has also been expanded from three to sixteen states, which crushed efforts to create industrial corridors for this sector.
In the next 10 years, he said, estimates are 11 thousand 500 executive airplanes and 12 thousand 400 commercial units will be assembled globally, which could represent an opportunity for Mexico.

Shorts in Belfast WERE building the fuselages for the Learjet. Does this mean a round of job losses in Belfast? I hope not.

I do not know if they are going to lose work or not but the report clearly says the reason they won the contract is mexican workers do a more efficient job than even canadian workers, up to 25% more cost efficient and it is not only salaries but the fact mexican workers do a better job in terms of less mistakes and quicker manufacture.
The learjet 85 is a new model though so at least with respect the learjet 85 mexico won the assembly and production of this new airplane made by Bombardier
