Bombardier has announced an expansion of its U.S. services and support network to address the demand for OEM-backed maintenance and operational care. The initiative will add sites in both existing hubs and new regions over several years, with a focus on capacity and reducing turnaround times. The expansion is expected to recruit and create skilled jobs across the country, creating new job opportunities and supporting the company’s after-market growth strategy.
“Bombardier’s fleet in the United States is growing at a rapid pace, and so should our American network of services and support,” said Paul Sislian, executive vice president, Bombardier aftermarket services and strategy. “Today’s announcement demonstrates our full commitment to provide exceptional care and seamless convenience, so that our customers can fly with total confidence. While our team is already delivering on this promise – with our best-in-class services earning the #1 ranking in the AIN Product Support survey for a second consecutive year, as well as in the 2025 Professional Pilot Corporate Aircraft Product Support Survey – this expansion initiative demonstrates the depth of our commitment to offer the ultimate customer experience.”
With the entry into service of the Global 8000(1) aircraft later this year, coinciding with the growth of the company’s fleet, Bombardier plans to strengthen its U.S. operations across the country. The investment will focus on recruiting talent and developing the workforce, including expanding apprenticeship and community training programs. These efforts aim to accelerate the hiring and onboarding of airframe and powerplant technicians, along with other skilled workers, to meet demand and maintain service quality.
Bombardier’s current services business has a presence in the United States, with service centers in Dallas, Tucson, Hartford, and Wichita. It also has a facility in Miami Opa Locka, opened in 2022. Customers benefit from a parts distribution center in Chicago and mobile response teams across 20 locations nationwide, ready to provide help wherever needed.
(1)The Global 8000 aircraft is currently under development and remains to be finalized and certified. All specifications and data are approximate, may change without notice and are subject to certain operating rules, assumptions and other conditions. It is expected to enter service in 2025.
