A $100 Million Investment In Service

Bombardier has added a new $100 million, 300,000 sq. ft. service center at the Miami Opa-Locka Executive Airport in south Florida as it expands its aftermarket capabilities around the world. The center is strategically located to serve the large Florida and Latin America markets.     Credit: Bombardier 

 

Tip-To-Tail Service

The service center, Bombardier's largest in North America under one roof, performs scheduled and unscheduled maintenance—including major inspections, upgrades, modifications and avionics installations as well as interior refurbishments.     

“We do a lot of business in the winter coming out of the (U.S.) Northeast and Canada. Florida has always been a key location for us, but the problem has always been the amount of space we have,” says Chris Debergh, Bombardier vice president of products and services.  Credit: Bombardier 

"Janus Portal"

An art installation behind the customer service counter in the lobby of Bombardier's Service Center was designed by Miami abstract multimedia artist Troy Simmons. The art piece, made from concrete, is called "Janus Portal," named after the Greek god of travel.   Credit: Molly McMillin/Aviation Week

Room For The Largest Jets

Bombardier's Miami Opa-Locka facility includes two massive hangars, large enough to accommodate multiple Global 7500 ultra-large jets at the same time. The company is in the midst of providing a 10-year check on a Bombardier Global 6000.     Credit: Molly McMillin/Aviation Week 

Office Space For Program Managers, Others

Bombardier’s service center includes office space for Bombardier buyers, planners, program managers, accountants and those working in finance, operations and other functions.   Credit: Molly McMillin/Aviation Week

Cutomer Conference Rooms

Bombardier celebrated the grand opening of the new $100 million Miami Opa-Locka Service Center on Oct. 31 at a ceremony attended by Bombardier and government officials, members of Bombardier's Board of Directors, media and other guests. The facility employs 125 today, which will increase to 175 in November. It plans to employ about 300 in the next year or so, including 225 technicians, officials say. 

This is the fourth maintenance facility that Bombardier has opened this year—the others are in Melbourne, Australia, London Biggin Hill; and Singapore. The four facilities have added nearly 1 million sq. ft. of aftermarket service capacity to its network.
