"European aerospace firm Airbus is to take a majority stake in Bombardier's C-Series jet project.
The C-Series has faced a series of problems, most recently a trade dispute in the US that imposed a 300% import tariff on the plane.
Bombardier's Northern Ireland's director Michael Ryan said the deal was "great news" for the Belfast operation.
About 1,000 jobs are linked to the C-Series, the wings of which are made at a purpose-built factory in Belfast.
Bombardier was accused of anti-competitive practices by rival Boeing, which complained to the US authorities."

Oh wait, it's clear that Brexit won't happen!
