BOMBARDIER is halting production of its 50-seat CRJ200 aircraft, with no guarantee it will begin again. Work will stop on the jet in January and confirm the lay-off of 660 employees in Montreal and Belfast. Production of the Challenger 850 business jet, and the CRJ700 and CRJ900 are unaffected as the manufacturer looks to build aircraft which are more in demand.
