Hundreds of London jobs are on the line while aircraft-maker Diamond Aircraft waits for federal help to launch jet production, Mayor Joe Fontana warns.
Just days away from Tuesday’s federal budget, Fontana said the company has waited for months for a $35-million federal loan that would help it launch production of the innovative five-seater D-Jet, saving the jobs of 200 employees working on the project and creating at least 500 new jobs at the London plant.
