Farnborough Airport, the home of British aviation and Europe’s airport for premium air travel connectivity, has announced the opening of a new Bombardier line maintenance station at the Airport.

With more than 70 tenants on site, Farnborough Airport is at the centre of a dynamic and fast-growing aerospace and aviation industry cluster. Home to a number of leading aviation organisations, ranging from aircraft management companies to aircraft detailers and consultants to aviation training, Farnborough Airport offers exceptional aircraft assistance, renovation and maintenance services.

Bombardier’s new line maintenance station at Farnborough 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 their network of 10 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 state of the art, 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 at Farnborough Airport commented: “Over the years, we have made significant investment to the Airport’s facilities and infrastructure, which has increasingly attracted aviation, aerospace and adjacent industries to the region, creating and building upon the historic legacy of Farnborough Airport as the birthplace of British Aviation. We’re delighted to welcome Bombardier to Farnborough Airport as we look to continue to expand our offering and solidify our position as the largest and most important business aviation gateway in the UK, and further our commitment to aviation excellence, innovation, and growth.
