Rolls-Royce has signed a new engine service agreement authorising Bombardier Aircraft Service Centres in Amsterdam and Singapore to perform maintenance on BR710 engines installed in the Bombardier Global Express, Global Express XRS, Global 5000 and Global 6000 aircraft.
Under the agreement, Bombardier Aircraft Service Centres will be certified to perform line maintenance on the Rolls-Royce engines and perform engine removals, which will be then sent to Rolls-Royce for heavy maintenance. The agreement will enable Bombardier and Rolls-Royce to jointly provide support to CorporateCare customers.
Stan Younger, vice president, aircraft service centers, Bombardier Aerospace, said, “Expanding support capabilities across our network is one of our top priorities. Our goal is to provide operators with the ability to receive maintenance whenever and wherever they need it. Collaborating with companies like Rolls-Royce ensures that our service centres are able to ramp up their worldwide service offering and offer customers the highest quality service on every major aircraft component during their visit at a Bombardier facility.”
Furthermore, Bombardier Aircraft Service Centres and Bombardier operators will be provided with direct access to Rolls-Royce technical service representatives, as well as Rolls-Royce’s myaeroengine.com portal for support and technical troubleshooting.
In March 2012, Rolls-Royce and Bombardier entered into a similar agreement authorising Bombardier Aircraft Service Centers in Dallas, Tucson, Hartford and Fort Lauderdale to perform maintenance on the BR710 engine installed in the Bombardier Global Express, Global Express XRS, Global 5000 and Global 6000 aircraft.
