Jet Aviation Paris Le Bourget receives EASA approval and is appointed a Bombardier AOG Line Maintenance Facility

Jet Aviation Paris Le Bourget has been appointed a Bombardier AOG Line Maintenance Facility (LMF) to support the full line of Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft. The company, which recently signed an agreement with Universal Aviation France SARL to establish a line maintenance and AOG operation at the Paris Le Bourget Business Aviation Airport, also received EASA approval and is now fully operational.

Jet Aviation Paris Le Bourget, which recently received EASA Part 145 line station approval from the Swiss National Aviation authority FOCA, was appointed by Bombardier as a LMF. This designation allows the company to provide line maintenance and AOG support for the full line of Bombardier business aircraft, including Learjet*, Challenger* and Global* business jets.

According to Michael McQuay, president of Bombardier Aircraft Service Centers, "We are pleased to add Jet Aviation Paris Le Bourget as a Line Maintenance Facility for Bombardier business aircraft. The addition of Jet Aviation strengthens our industry-leading service and maintenance network, which currently totals nine Bombardier-owned service centres and 47 authorized facilities for business and commercial aircraft in 21 countries around the world."

Christof Späth, Jet Aviation's senior vice president MRO & FBO services for EMEA & Asia, adds: "We are pleased that Bombardier has appointed our operation in France as a Line Maintenance Facility. This, together, with our EASA approval, enables us to provide our clients with a broader palette of maintenance services in France, as well as further strengthening our MRO network globally."
