Bombardier Aerospace announced that adjustments to line maintenance intervals for the CRJ700/705/900 NextGen and Q400 aircraft have received final approval from Transport Canada (TC), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as part of the approval of the Maintenance Requirements Manuals (MRM) for these aircraft.
Previous schedules required CRJ700/705/900 and Q400 aircraft to undergo line maintenance checks every 2.2 months on average (based on an average daily utilization of six hours per day). Under the new revisions, the intervals are extended to 3.3 months. As a result of this extension, Bombardier anticipates that operators will experience reduced Direct Maintenance Costs (DMC) over the life of the aircraft.
