(Adds context on UK operations, market reaction.)
TORONTO, June 24 (Reuters) - Canadian plane and train
manufacturer Bombardier Inc BBDb.TO said on Friday it was
committed to its operations in Britain, but it was too early to
speculate on the impact of the country's vote to leave the
European Union.
"As always, we are committed to our businesses, all our
employees and our customers in the UK, and we will continue to
work with the Government and other industry stakeholders to
create the necessary business environment to ensure our future
success," said the company in a statement.
The company has about 5,000 workers in Belfast, Northern
Ireland, where it manufactures and designs aircraft wings,
fuselages and other parts, including wings for its new CSeries
jet, and services planes.
Bombardier is also Britain's last train manufacturer, with a
plant in Derby. In 2014, it signed a key contract to manufacture
train cars for Crossrail, a project to connect London's Heathrow
Airport with Essex, to the east.
Shares were down 2 percent at C$1.94 on the Toronto Stock
Exchange.
