Montréal is one of the few places in the world (after Seattle, USA (BOEING) and Toulouse, France (AIRBUS)) where an aircraft can be built from A to Z (concept + design + manufactured + assembled), making it one of the WORLD’S major aerospace hubs. Virtually all the components required to build a plane are manufactured within a 30-km radius of Montréal.
