Bombardier manufactures a variety of business aircraft models, provides engineering, and aircraft maintenance services.

Skyservice Business Aviation’s Vancouver facility has been designated a Bombardier authorized service facility (ASF). The designation extends Bombardier’s ASF coverage to Canada’s west coast and adds certified technicians, mobile repair teams, and rapid-response maintenance support in a region that Skyservice noted as a key gateway for trans-Pacific traffic.
The facility, located at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) in Richmond, British Columbia, joins Skyservice’s existing ASF locations in Toronto (CYYZ) and Montréal (CYUL), giving the company three Bombardier-authorized sites across Canada. The Vancouver facility supports maintenance, repair, and overhaul capability for Bombardier Globals and Challengers.
“This is an important milestone for both our organization and the customers we serve together with Bombardier,” said Skyservice president and CEO Benjamin Murray. “Expanding our authorized service facility network to Vancouver strengthens coast-to-coast coverage for Bombardier operators—enhancing responsiveness, consistency, and the overall service experience across Canada.”
The ASF designation also supports Skyservice’s aircraft management clients, providing regional access to hangar space and Bombardier maintenance expertise.
“Strong regional service collaborations are essential to delivering the high standards of support Bombardier customers expect,” said Anthony Cox, v-p of customer support for Bombardier. “This strategic expansion enhances service coverage in a key region for both Bombardier and Skyservice’s customers and reinforces our commitment to delivering responsive support for Bombardier aircraft.”
