Bombardier Aerospace has signed a new engine service agreement with Rolls-Royce to perform maintenance services for BR710 engines deployed on Bombardier’s Global Express, Global Express XRS, Global 5000 and Global 6000 jet liners.

Under the deal, Bombardier-owned service centres in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Singapore serving business aircraft operators will be authorised by Rolls-Royce to carry out line maintenance on Rolls-Royce engines

The centres will also be authorised to perform engine removals, which are then dispatched to Rolls-Royce for heavy maintenance.

In addition, Bombardier Aircraft Service Centres and Bombardier operators will have a direct access to Rolls-Royce technical service representatives, as well as Rolls-Royce’s portal to facilitate support and technical troubleshooting.

The latest engine service agreement will enable the companies to jointly provide seamless support to CorporateCare customers.
