Global Aviation Designated Bombardier-Authorized Service
Provider in the U.S. Pacific Northwest
HILLSBORO, OR (August 7, 2008) – Global Aviation,
Inc. a private, full service aviation company has become a
Bombardier-Business Aircraft authorized Aircraft On Ground/Line
Maintenance Facility (AOG/LMF) in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
Located at the Portland-Hillsboro Airport (KHIO), this relationship
adds yet another significant facet to Global’s superior
product offering of aircraft charter, maintenance and management
services.
With this new authorization as AOG/LMF for Bombardier Business
Aircraft, Global Aviation is now authorized to perform line
maintenance on Learjet 40, 45, and 60 aircraft models, the
Challenger 604 and 605 aircraft models, as well as the Global
family of aircraft.
Bombardier Aerospace is a world leader in the design and manufacture
of innovative aviation products and is a provider of related
services. Bombardier’s aircraft portfolio includes a
comprehensive line of business aircraft, commercial aircraft
including regional jets, turboprops and single-aisle mainline
jets and amphibious aircraft. It also offers aftermarket services
as well as fractional ownership and flight entitlement programs.
“This designation is supremely important to Global as
we continue to pursue unparalled industry excellence,”
said Flo Newton, President Global Aviation. “Bombardier
is one of the premier aviation companies and to partner with
them is another step toward our goal of remaining the best
aviation service provider in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.”
The process for being designated a Bombardier AOG/LMF for
business aircraft is stringent and requires a substantial
investment in technician training, special tooling and ground
support equipment. Operators of Bombardier aircraft in the
region rallied and became advocates for Global’s designation.
The AOG/LMF designation enables Global Aviation to provide
AOG and line maintenance support and the ability to process
warranty claims. This is a significant benefit to Bombardier
aircraft operators based in the region, as well as to those
transiting the Northwest. Global’s maintenance personnel
will also mobilize and travel to assist operators at other
airports, both domestic and international.
“After a thorough review of the candidate facilities,
Bombardier selected Global Aviation to provide AOG and line
maintenance support to Bombardier Business Aircraft in the
region. We are looking forward to working with a quality maintenance
organization such as Global Aviation.” said Gary Dolski,
Director, Bombardier Business Aircraft ASF Management
With the addition of Bombardier, Global Aviation will now
offer maintenance and repair services for the most popular
aircraft models including, Gulfstream, Dassault, Hawker, Cessna
Citation, Embraer and Pilatus. Global offers 63,000 square
feet of heated hangar space with plans for a 27,000 square
foot expansion. For more information please see
