Bombardier recently completed its first 7,500-landing inspection on a Challenger 300 in Europe, at Biggin Hill Airport in the UK. The project follows a Challenger 300 inspection in December at the company’s Hartford Service Center in Windsor Locks, Connecticut—the third of its kind performed by a Bombardier service facility in the U.S. The airframer completed two similar inspections at the Tucson Service Center in Arizona and a fourth Challenger 300 aircraft is undergoing the procedure in Hartford. 

According to Bombardier, the London Biggin Hill Service Center suits such detailed work because its technicians are factory-trained for such heavy maintenance inspections. Eighty-eight Challenger 300s operated in Europe as of last year’s fourth quarter.
