Bombardier recognises Sterling as Diamond Supplier
Due to the ongoing global pandemic and safety measures in place, Bombardier recognised the outstanding efforts of its Diamond Suppliers during a Virtual Diamond Supplier Award Ceremony event held on 12 July.

Sterling Global Aviation Logistics has met the Bombardier operational performance criteria in the areas of quality, delivery and competitiveness levels needed to qualify and receive the Bombardier Diamond Supplier status. Sterling Global Aviation Logistics was recently named one of 13 Bombardier suppliers to be recognised for their performance in 2020.

An annual internal validation process is conducted to identify suppliers that qualify for Diamond Supplier status. This programme is a Bombardier initiative to recognise the outstanding performance of its suppliers across the organisation.

Bombardier's goals are to build a true, long term relationship with its suppliers and reward their achievements and excellence, helping to grow and innovate together. This helps provide a clear and transparent definition of excellence and expectations, so that Bombardier can continue to improve its own performance in providing an exceptional customer experience.

Due to the ongoing global pandemic and safety measures in place, Bombardier recognised the outstanding efforts of its Diamond Suppliers during a Virtual Diamond Supplier Award Ceremony event held on 12 July.

“With a relationship that reaches back 15 years, Sterling has been providing Bombardier with a range of innovative logistics and transportation solutions designed to support its aggressive growth strategy. We are so pleased to be recognised by Bombardier with this prestigious award,” says Robert Broderick, EVP Sterling Global Aviation Logistics.

Sterling specialises in shipping AOG aircraft parts, heavyweight or oversized freight and dangerous goods, while keeping downtime to a minimum. With a focus on providing global AOG logistics, Sterling offers precision, individualised service and dependability.
