EBACE: Arab Wings to carry out Bombardier maintenance

The charter operator - which also has a sister company called Gulf Wings, operating out of Sharjah - has signed f a deal with Canada's Bombardier to repair AOG (Aircraft on Ground) Challenger 600 series aircraft in the Middle East.

The company already operates Challenger aircraft and will next year take delivery of a Global 5000.

“These additions to Bombardier’s rapidly expanding aftermarket network will provide our steadily growing customer base with even more options for high-quality maintenance services closer to home,” said James Hoblyn, president, customer services & specialised and amphibious aircraft, Bombardier Aerospace at the Geneva show.

Arab Wings currently employs 21 full-time aircraft maintenance technicians at its 10,763 square foot hangar. The new hangar at Marka will effectively double that space.
