Bombardier has announced a new service agreement with Beijing Airlines, with the Chinese operator providing support to Bombardier aircraft suffering with technical problems from its base at Beijing International Airport.

“Bombardier has long-standing and valued relationships in China, and we are steadily increasing our customer support in strategic locations across the country,” said Eric Martel, president, customer services & specialised and amphibious aircraft, Bombardier Aerospace. “This new agreement with Beijing Airlines means the growing number of Bombardier business aircraft operators in Beijing can count on high quality, efficient maintenance services at their doorstep.”

Business aircraft operators in the region also have access to Bombardier authorised service facilities at four other locations: Metrojet Limited in Hong Kong; Shanghai Hawker Pacific Business Aircraft Service in Shanghai; Execujet Haite Aviation Services China Co. Ltd. in Tianjin; and Staeco in Jinan.

Bombardier’s latest market forecast for the aviation industry predicts a total delivery of 2,420 business jet deliveries destined for China over the next 20 years. To date, Bombardier business aircraft based in Greater China region has reached 99 jets.
