Bombardier Customer Services has
opened a new component repair and overhaul center for commercial
aircraft in Dallas. The $4.3 million facility, located south west
of Love Field Airport, will cater for Bombardier's growing number
of customers across the United States as well as Central and South
America.
Focusing on the repair and overhaul of structural components for
nacelles, the facility's capabilities will include support for the
RB211 E4 and IAE V2500 engine ranges.
Occupying 50,000 square feet of workshop, storage and office
space at the Pinnacle Industrial Center, the layout was designed
using Lean methodology. Currently employing a team of 16, the
facility is expected to grow to 60 employees over the next five
years.
Speaking at the official opening
ceremony, James Hoblyn, President, Bombardier Customer Services
& Specialized and Amphibious Aircraft said: "This new facility
is a further expansion of Bombardier's customer services network in
Dallas and a clear commitment to providing an amazing customer
experience for all our customers. Our enhanced capabilities in
aftermarket support will ensure we are well-positioned to respond
to increasing customer demand while growing this sector of our
business."
Michael Ryan, Vice-president and General Manager, Bombardier
Aerospace, Belfast, said: "Dallas affords us an excellent
opportunity to extend the support we offer from our established
repair and overhaul center in Belfast, by improving turnaround
times and delivering optimum value to our growing customer base in
the Americas. Our new team of maintenance technicians will be led
by managers who have gained specific product and process training
at our Belfast repair facility."
