Facility Outfits Global Express Jets
Bombardier Aerospace announced this week it has extended an
existing agreement with Savannah Air Center as a preferred
completion center for Global 5000 and Global Express XRS jets. With
this contract, Bombardier has secured capacity for a minimum of 12
addtional Global business jets over the next three years.
"Savannah Air Center is thrilled with this agreement," said Jeff
Zacharius, chief executive officer, Savannah Air Center, "We've
been completing Global business jets for several years, and are
proud not only to be associated with such a strong product family,
but are also pleased Bombardier has the confidence in our
capabilities to provide the same level of excellence they offer
their clients at their own facilities."
Savannah Air Center has performed interior completions and
modifications, avionics upgrades, maintenance and exterior paint on
Challenger and Global aircraft since 2005. A new 101,000
square-foot (9,383 sq-m) hangar is being added to the facility
specifically for Global aircraft completions and maintenance and
will be fully operational by the end of November 2007.
"Over the past two years, Savannah Air Center has consistently
achieved the superior level of completion quality our Challenger
and Global aircraft customers demand," said Eric Martel,
vicepresident and general manager, Challenger and Global,
Bombardier Business Aircraft. "This new agreement is a real benefit
to the growing number of Global aircraft customers, offering them
more options for customized design and installation of their
interiors."
