Bombardier (BBD.B) has increased maintenance and repair capacity at its Le Bourget Line Station.

The expanded station, located at Le Bourget Airport near Paris, furthers the company’s goal of bringing best-in-class OEM service, parts and expertise closer to its customers.

Besides a recently boosted workforce at Le Bourget, the company has added more than 30,000 sq. ft. of hangar space, increasing the slots available for light scheduled as well as unscheduled and aircraft-on-ground maintenance.

Forthcoming additions include wheel and battery shop maintenance services.

The Le Bourget facility is certified for the Learjet 60 and Learjet 75 aircraft, as well as the Challenger and Global series business jets.

“As we actively grow our worldwide service footprint, we are creating more and more opportunities for our business jet customers to leverage Bombardier’s high-level OEM capabilities in the form of expertise, infrastructure and connected aircraft technology to deliver the most complete response to their maintenance needs,” said Anthony Cox, Bombardier’s Vice President of Customer Support.

“Our supplemental light and line maintenance capabilities and parking solution at this strategic location complement our existing heavy maintenance offerings in Berlin and London and ensure customers of our already-popular Le Bourget LMS can benefit right now from access to a broader range of top-tier options in the region,” he added.

Bombardier provides business jet design, manufacturing and services with a worldwide fleet of approximately 5,000 aircraft.

Bombardier (BBD.B) is unchanged trading at $1.14 per share as of 1:29 pm EST.
