Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services (LBAS) now offers services for Bombardier's newest and largest aircraft type, the Global 7500 — the industry's largest and longest-range aircraft. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) granted Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services the approval to perform line maintenance services at its home base in Berlin Schoenefeld. Moreover, LBAS can offer AOG services at any location worldwide for the Global 7500 business jet.
"With the EASA approval for Bombardier's new flagship aircraft, we meet the needs of our clients, and we can support them during the entry-into-service phase," says Clemens Schrettl, head of Sales and Marketing at Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services.
"In the near future we will be able to offer the complete range of line- and base- maintenance services for this aircraft type. Our hangar in Berlin Schoenefeld has already four maintenance bays capable of receiving the Global 7500 business jet. Furthermore, our NDT, batteries and wheels shops are prepared to handle the extra requests," adds Sascha Leitner, CEO of Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services.
Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services is a full-service MRO provider in Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Africa. With 250 qualified personnel, Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services provides optimal support for operators of Bombardier Global, Challenger and Learjet business aircraft.
The service spectrum encompasses the entire palette of maintenance and overhaul services (line- and base-maintenance), such as routine inspections (engines, fuselage, APU) along with VIP cabin modifications and conversions. A mobile repair party (MRP) is available to customers around the clock.
