Bombardier has released that it is increasing its customer service capabilities in the U.S. with a new service center at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The new service center will more than double the company's current customer service footprint in Florida with new capabilities, including a paint facility for the center's vast customer base spanning the U.S. and Latin America.
Planned for inauguration in 2020, the new service center in Miami will be fully equipped to perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, aircraft modifications, avionics installations, and aircraft on ground support (AOG) for Bombardier Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft. Once the facility is fully ramped up, the new service center will nearly double Bombardier's employment in Florida to close to 300 employees.
Located in Miami-Dade County, the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF) is the largest of the County's general aviation airports. Bombardier's approximately US$100-million investment for its new service center will bring significant benefits to Miami-Dade County, including the development of a comprehensive aerospace cluster and the establishment of talent development partnerships with local colleges.
