AS9100 certification in Montreal at a glance
Few Canadian cities can say that a whole aircraft programme runs from their territory, but Montreal can: Airbus Canada handles A220 engineering, production, final assembly and customer support at Mirabel, and Bombardier is headquartered in the city. Montréal International puts six prime manufacturers and nearly fifteen equipment makers inside Greater Montréal's aerospace ecosystem. AS9100 is how the suppliers underneath them demonstrate control. It takes ISO 9001 and adds configuration management, first article inspection, special-process control, product safety and counterfeit-part prevention. Served from Sterling's Toronto office, Montreal suppliers get gap work built on their existing ISO 9001 system; an accredited certification body then issues the certificate.

AS9100 in Montreal: questions clients ask
Is AS9100 expected of subcontractors in Montreal's aerospace chain?
Often, because primes and their tier-one suppliers pass it down, but the customer's own supplier manual decides. Montréal International describes a large subcontractor network around six prime manufacturers, and each buyer states whether AS9100 or only ISO 9001 is required. Ask for the written flow-down before spending effort.
What makes the Mirabel site relevant to a Montreal AS9100 project?
Airbus Canada runs engineering, production, final assembly and customer support for the A220 from Mirabel, so suppliers there are audited by a customer with full programme control. That raises the weight of configuration management and traceability. Suppliers should expect the programme's quality requirements to follow the purchase order.
