Customers to benefit from Bombardier’s technical and maintenance expertise for Learjet,
Challenger and Global aircraft in the region
Orlando, Oct. 20, 2009 – Bombardier Aerospace today announced that it will open its first
wholly owned European aircraft service center at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
This new addition to Bombardier’s company-owned aircraft service center network, currently
consisting of six facilities in North America, will enable the company to better support its growing
fleet of over 550 Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft in the region. The European aircraft
service center is expected to begin operation in early 2010.
“The Bombardier Aircraft Service Center network has been offering the highest quality of
support to our customers in North America for over 28 years and today we are pleased to bring
that experience and expertise to our customer base in Europe,” said Michael McQuay,
President, Bombardier Aircraft Service Centers. “The new aircraft service center, coupled with
our LBAS joint venture facility in Germany and Frankfurt super-warehouse, strengthens our
services in the region by providing greater access to Bombardier’s high-quality maintenance
support and certified Bombardier parts pre-cleared at customs.”
The facility will feature 4,240 sq. meters (45,639 sq.feet) of hangar space, will include a staff of
approximately 50 technicians and will be equipped to perform a variety of light to heavy
maintenance tasks.
“The creation of a European aircraft service center is key to our strategy of expanding our
customer services offering into new regions of the world and of providing faster, easier access
to support for our growing international customer base,” said Andy Nureddin, vice-president,
Bombardier Customer Services and Support. “This announcement builds on our comprehensive
customer services offering in the region, ranging from training facilities to our PartsExpress
delivery service and mobile response teams for rapid on-site support.”
