A year after the grand-opening celebration for its Schiphol Service Center in Amsterdam, Bombardier Aerospace (Stand 7011) is adding more capacity to the wholly owned facility. The company is growing the staff at Schiphol by 30 percent and adding shifts this year to provide more flexibility for customers to schedule light and heavy maintenance tasks. Maintenance for the Challenger 850 is also being added as is expanded expertise in interior refurbishment for the entire Bombardier business jet fleet.
“The market overall has recovered nicely over the last six months,” said James Hoblyn, Bombardier’s president of customer services. “We see it certainly in the emerging economies in Europe as you go east and south.” Bombardier plans to continue investing in the European marketplace on top of recent expansion of investments in parts distribution, simulators and personnel. “We’ve added a number of different people on the ground,” he said.
