Bombardier building its first service facility in UAE
Canadian business jet manufacturer Bombardier (Static A19) has announced to set up a service centre at Abu Dhabi International Airport.
The announcement came on the first day of the MEBAA
Show being held in Dubai.
The facility will have a large hangar as well as a parts
depot and will perform both scheduled and unscheduled heavy maintenance, aircraft
modifications, paint modifications, aircraft-on-ground capabilities, and
parking services for aircraft.
The almost 100,000 square foot facility, which is scheduled
to open in 2025, will be a crucial hub for
Bombardier servicing operations in
the Middle East and create more than 100 new jobs. Its hangar will be able to
accommodate up to four Global 7500 aircraft at once and be equipped to service
the full range of Bombardier’s Learjet, Challenger, and Global families.
“With more than 150 aircraft sold into the Middle East, it
is a significant market for Bombardier, and we are pleased to be establishing a
highly efficient facility in the UAE for our customers in the market—as well as
for those visiting from all over the world,” said Éric Martel, president and
chief executive officer of Bombardier.
