Under the roof of a large hangar in a once-neglected corner of Querétaro airport in central Mexico, a handful of highly-skilled workers sit in the half-built rear fuselage of what will soon be a Bombardier Global Express aircraft, part of the flagship range from the Canada-based aerospace company.

Next door, Adolfo Muñoz, a graduate from the local university, is putting the final touches to a labyrinth of electrical cables that will soon be shipped to the US to be fitted in one of Bombardier’s other models.
