Parts depot getting facelift to meet demands of customers in the Middle East

Dubai The Canadian Press

Bombardier Aerospace BBD.B-T is expanding services at its Dubai parts depot to meet the demands of customers in the Middle East.

The facility at the Dubai International Airport will be equipped in coming months to meet the parts requirements of the CRJ Series, Q-Series and eventually the C Series aircraft customers in the region.

The depot has previously focused on the company's business customers and currently services Bombardier Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft customers.

Bombardier says the move is part of an ongoing effort to boost its services around the world.

The Dubai facility opened in November 2005 and is operated in conjunction with the ExecuJet Aviation Group.

“As the demand for airline travel grows within the Middle East, we are committed to growing our fleet of commercial aircraft in the region and to providing these commercial customers with the same level of world-class service that we have in place for our business customers,” said James Hoblyn, president of customer services for Bombardier.
