Bombardier's Service Centre at the Seletar
Aerospace Park in Singapore has installed and certified a
Lufthansa Technik AG nice HD Cabin Management System (CMS) and SDR
Wi-Fi system in a Global Express XRS aircraft.
This is the first
time that a Bombardier business jet in the Asia-Pacific region has
achieved such an installation milestone.
Installed by the engineering team in Singapore
for an undisclosed customer,
the installation upgrades the 10-year-old CMS with the nice HD
system on the aircraft.
The Singapore Service Centre is more than quadrupling its current 100,000 sq. ft.
(9,260 m2) footprint to approximately 430,000 sq. ft. (40,000 m2),
transforming it into a high-capacity, one-stop-shop super centre,
offering customers a full gamut of maintenance, refurbishment and
modification services required throughout an aircrafts life,
directly on site. Construction is ongoing with the target for its
inauguration in 2020.
This achievement underscores the
outstanding engineering and maintenance teams that we have at the
Singapore Service Centre serving our customers in the Asia-Pacific
region, said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Vice President and
General Manager, Customer Experience, Bombardier Business
Aircraft. Since opening in February 2014, the Singapore Centre
has established itself as a centre of excellence for all types of
retrofits, maintenance procedures and upgrades. With the expansion
of this facility, we will continue to provide customers in the
Asia-Pacific region with enhanced reliability and service options
and create future opportunities to reach more achievements like
this one.
The Singapore Service
Centre expansion will introduce new customer
facilities, including a full-service 37,000 sq. ft. (3,500 m2)
paint shop, advanced interior finishing capabilities, with key
support functions such as training, sales and customer support,
and an expanded portfolio of component, repair and overhaul (CR&O)
services.
It will also offer heavy structural and composite repair
capabilities, in addition to a 10,000 sq. ft. (929 m2) integrated
parts depot.
The Singapore Service Centre can service
the full range of Bombardier Global, Challenger and Learjet
aircraft.
