With more than 70 tenants on site, Farnborough Airport is home to a number of leading aviation organisations, ranging from aircraft management companies and aircraft detailers to consultants and aviation training suppliers.
Bombardier’s new line maintenance station at the airport will provide quick and efficient light scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, as well as aircraft on ground (AOG) support with on-site technicians certified to offer original equipment manufacturer (OEM) support to all Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft, complementing a wide array of options for Bombardier’s customers in Europe and adds to its network of ten service centres and 35 mobile response team (MRT) units around the globe.
Bombardier will join existing on-site full-service aircraft support partners Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, whose 225,000 sq ft London Area Service Centre at Farnborough Airport offers maintenance, repair and overhaul services, as well as interior refurbishments and after-market modifications, and Dassault Aviation Business Services (DABS), whose on-site maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility offers a complete range of maintenance capabilities, including major inspections, airframe repairs, avionics and cabin system upgrades, paintwork, and complete interior refurbishments.
Simon Geere, CEO of Farnborough Airport, said: “Over the years, we have made significant investment in the airport’s facilities and infrastructure, which has increasingly attracted aviation, aerospace and adjacent industries to the region. We’re delighted to welcome Bombardier to Farnborough Airport as we look to continue to expand our offering.”
