Bombardier To Lay Off 200 Workers

Aircraft maker Bombardier says it will lay off about 200 workers in Wichita.

The company says this will affect about 70 contract and temporary workers, 100 permanent employees, and about 40 who will be reassigned.

The Learjet 85 made its first flight in early April.

The company had hoped to put it into service this year.
