Bombardier Reports 'Worst Ever' Financial Period

Aerospace firm Bombardier has reported an operating loss of £194 million in 2015.

The firm also warned that the "challenges will continue" and blamed the downturn following problems with its C Series programme.

It has been described as one of its "worst ever" financial periods.

The firm also said it has been difficult to identify new business.

Earlier this year, Bombardier announced it was to axe over 1,000 jobs in Belfast.
