Bombardier (BBD) is partnering with Rolls-Royce to bolster its maintenance service capabilities for Global aircraft customers.
Customers whose Global aircraft have BR710 engines will have access to a pool of Rolls-Royce-owned lease engines, located onsite at select Bombardier service centres in the US, with Berlin, Biggin Hill and Singapore to follow shortly.
Under the new agreement, Global Express, Global Express XRS, Global 5000 and Global 6000 aircraft operators will have all their lease engine maintenance needs met at various Bombardier service centres, significantly reducing downtime and costs.
All post-lease maintenance on the engines will be done on location, ensuring faster turnaround time and the elimination of lease engine shipping costs.
“Bombardier continues to drive value for its customers through this agreement, which underscores our continued investment in aftermarket infrastructure,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President, Services and Support, and Corporate Strategy, Bombardier.

“The expansion of our lease engine pool locations to selected Bombardier authorized service centres ensures quick turn-around times and better accessibility for our BR710 customers, further strengthening our global services network.”
