On Feb. 19, Bombardier announced the latest addition to its expanding service and support network–a dedicated Mobile Response Team (MRT) aircraft, based in Frankfurt, Germany. The Challenger 300 aircraft marked its entry-into-service by successfully completing its first mission, providing a European customer with efficient unscheduled maintenance support.
The strategically located Challenger 300 aircraft will deftly supplement the shipping of parts from Bombardier’s main European parts distribution hub at Frankfurt International Airport. It has a range of 5,646 kilometres and an impressive Mach 0.83 top speed capability, which will enhance the MRT’s reach and response times to a fleet size of more than 700 aircraft in Europe and the Middle East.
“With this investment, we are adding expertise and increasing accessibility to OEM support for our European operators and paving the way for the industry’s largest and longest-range business jet–our flagship Global 7500 aircraft–which is now in service,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, vice-president and general manager of Customer Experience for Bombardier Business Aircraft. “The addition of a dedicated Challenger 300 aircraft will augment the worldwide efforts of our MRT, already ranked as one of the most comprehensive onsite, mobile and aircraft-on-ground resolution services in the industry.”
