Bombardier has inaugurated a new line maintenance station at Farnborough Airport, expanding its customer service network in Europe and marking the company's ninth such facility worldwide. The UK-based station will provide light scheduled and unscheduled maintenance for all Bombardier Learjets, Challengers, and Globals.
“The addition of the Farnborough line maintenance station is an integral part of our overall mission to provide easy and enhanced OEM support for our customers in this very important region,” stated Paul Sislian, executive vice president of aftermarket service and strategy at Bombardier.
The Farnborough station complements Bombardier's existing facility at Paris Le Bourget Airport. Both stations enhance the capabilities of the major heavy maintenance service center at London Biggin Hill. Spanning approximately 250,000 square feet, the Biggin Hill facility includes 22 service bays and offers a variety of services such as modifications, avionics updates, and interior enhancements. It can accommodate up to 14 Global 7500s simultaneously. Additionally, Bombardier operates a service center at Berlin-Brandenburg, a 160,000-square-foot facility that has been in operation since 1997.
