Bombardier adds line maintenance station in Perth

Bombardier has added a new line maintenance station (LMS) in Perth, Australia, expanding its network of certified aircraft technicians.

The Canadian aircraft maker is also planning to open a second line maintenance station in Sydney, Australia, later this year subject to regulatory approval.

The new Perth station brings Bombardier’s worldwide LMS presence to 10, providing customers with light scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, including aircraft on ground (AOG) support. Bombardier Mobile Response Trucks are also operational in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. 

“The addition of the Perth Line Maintenance Station is an integral part of our overall mission to enhance OEM support for our customers in Australia,” said Paul Sislian, executive vice president, Aftermarket Services & Strategy, Bombardier. “We are delighted to be offering our customers expanded support, more resources and increased flexibility closer to their base of operations.”  

The introduction of the new LMS in Perth builds on the opening of the Melbourne Service Centre in September 2022. The Melbourne centre features close to 50,000sqft of hangar and ramp space, enough room to accommodate three Global 7500 aircraft.  

Bombardier said it works closely with its local teams to ensure sufficient stock of high-demand consumables is maintained. Distribution hubs located in Chicago, Frankfurt, Singapore and Hong Kong, teams ensure access to spare parts. Bombardier also holds a large inventory of parts at its Melbourne Service Centre for locally based customers.
