Bombardier Soars with Major U.S. Service Expansion, Kicking Off in Fort Wayne

Bombardier, a global leader in business aviation, is embarking on an ambitious and strategic expansion of its customer service footprint across the United States. This significant initiative kicks off with the groundbreaking for a brand-new, state-of-the-art service centre in Fort Wayne, Indiana, marking a pivotal moment in the company's commitment to delivering unparalleled support for its prestigious fleet of Challenger and Global business jets.

The Fort Wayne facility, spanning an impressive 200,000 square feet, represents a multi-million dollar investment by Bombardier, underscoring its dedication to enhancing customer experience and maintenance capabilities.

This isn't just a new building; it's a strategic hub designed to meet the growing demand for top-tier aircraft services, ensuring that Bombardier's valued clients receive the swift, efficient, and expert care their sophisticated aircraft require.

Upon its full operation in 2026, the Fort Wayne Service Centre is projected to create more than 200 highly specialized jobs, from skilled technicians and engineers to support staff.

This influx of high-quality employment opportunities will provide a substantial boost to the local economy of Fort Wayne and the surrounding region, solidifying Indiana's reputation as a key player in the aerospace industry. Bombardier's investment goes beyond infrastructure; it's an investment in people, talent, and community development.

Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President, Services and Support, and Corporate Strategy at Bombardier, emphasized the strategic importance of this expansion.

"Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and this new facility in Fort Wayne is a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing them with the best possible service experience," said Gallagher. "This expansion significantly bolsters our capacity to maintain our Challenger and Global aircraft, ensuring their optimal performance and reliability for years to come."

The new facility will be equipped with the latest diagnostic tools, repair capabilities, and highly trained personnel, making it a comprehensive one-stop-shop for a wide array of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services.

From routine inspections to complex structural repairs and sophisticated avionics upgrades, the Fort Wayne team will be poised to handle all aspects of aircraft care with precision and expertise, further solidifying Bombardier's position as a leader in aftermarket services.

This expansion in Fort Wayne is just the initial phase of a broader strategy to strengthen Bombardier's service network across the U.S.

and globally. It reflects the company's forward-thinking approach to supporting its expanding fleet and reinforces its long-term vision of maintaining its position at the forefront of business aviation. The groundbreaking ceremony not only celebrates a new chapter for Bombardier but also signifies a robust future for aerospace innovation and customer satisfaction in North America.
