    Controversy surrounding Boeing ownership and the Air Canada contract

    The company’s sale to Boeing became politically contentious after Air Canada selected Airbus for a major airliner order. Contemporary accounts described claims of bribery surrounding the procurement, while Boeing’s decision to put De Havilland Canada up for sale placed the Canadian manufacturer’s future in question. The referenced material does not establish a finding of wrongdoing by De Havilland Canada itself.
