Canadian tech company BlackBerry bought a private jet months before announcing it would lay off 40 per cent of its global workforce and incur a quarterly loss of nearly a billion dollars, but now says it has decided to sell the used Bombardier aircraft.

The company, based in Waterloo, Ont., bought the jet this year to replace two medium-range Dassault aircraft it had purchased several years earlier.

"The company considered several options and selected a used Bombardier aircraft, which was eventually delivered in July," BlackBerry said in an emailed statement.

"In light of the company’s current business condition, the company has decided to sell that aircraft along with the two legacy aircraft and will no longer own any planes."
