Bombardier announced the opening of its new service facility at Al Bateen Executive Airport in Abu Dhabi. The move is in bid to extend the Canadian aerospace manufacturer’s maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities around the world.
The new facility represents a strong partnership with Abu Dhabi Airports, leveraging their expertise and commitment to aviation excellence, Bombardier said.
This facility, which will relocate from its originally announced location at the Abu Dhabi International Airport in 2022, further reinforces the company’s commitment to serving its customers in this key market, it added.
The new location at the dynamic Al Bateen Executive Airport more effectively aligns with the needs of the company’s customers, Bombardier said.
Construction of the new facility is set to commence in the first half of 2025, with completion and operational readiness expected in the second half of 2026.
“We are thrilled to announce the new location of our Abu Dhabi Service facility at the dynamic Al Bateen Executive Airport in Abu Dhabi,” said Paul Sislian, Executive Vice President, Aftermarket Services and Strategy.
“This location is strategically aligned with all our aftermarket priorities and perfectly matches the needs of our discerning customer base,” he said.
Elena Sorlini, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Abu Dhabi Airports, said the airport is delighted to welcome Bombardier’s new service facility.
“This move represents a strategic alignment, given the airport’s dedicated focus on business aviation and its ability to provide a seamless and efficient experience for Bombardier’s clientele,” Sorlini said.
Bombardier Abu Dhabi service facility
Bombardier’s newly located Abu Dhabi Service Facility of approximately 120,000 sq. ft., will feature a 55,000 sq. ft. hangar, a parts depot, and a complete suite of maintenance services.
It will accommodate Bombardier’s Global 7500 aircraft, as well as the new Bombardier Global 8000, the company’s flagship of a new era, when it enters into service during the second half of 2025.
The new facility will also provide service solutions for the region and the worldwide customers of Bombardier Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft families.
At full capacity, the new OEM service facility is aiming to create approximately 100 aerospace jobs for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, further solidifying Bombardier’s presence in this important hub.
The new Abu Dhabi Service facility further expands on Bombardier’s existing service footprint in the UAE.
Bombardier’s Dubai Line Maintenance station provides Learjet, Challenger and Global customers with aircraft on ground (AOG) service capabilities, as well as general line maintenance capabilities.
