Diamond Aircraft, the London jetmaker whose financial plight made political waves during the spring federal election, has resumed work on its high-profile D-Jet.
The flight testing of D-Jet prototypes is underway again, several months after it was halted due to a "funding shortfall" that sparked "significant" layoffs.
"Our team's spirits are certainly lifted with the resumption of flight activities," said Diamond President Peter Mauer.
The future of the D-Jet was in peril in the spring when the company's efforts to secure a $35-million federal loan stalled heading into the federal campaign.
It became a major issue locally, drawing Mayor Joe Fontana into the debate.
The federal Conservatives ultimately decided not to grant the loan to Diamond.
