Skyservice Business Aviation has expanded its Bombardier authorised service facility network to Vancouver, strengthening maintenance support for operators across Canada's West Coast.

The designation for Skyservice's Vancouver International Airport facility in Richmond, British Columbia, adds a third Bombardier ASF location to the company's network alongside Toronto and Montréal.

The expansion increases maintenance, repair and overhaul capacity in a region that serves as a major gateway for trans-Pacific business aviation traffic and supports a growing population of Bombardier Global and Challenger aircraft.

Benjamin Murray, president and chief executive officer of Skyservice, says: “This is an important milestone for both our organisation and the customers we serve together with Bombardier. Expanding our authorised service facility network to Vancouver strengthens coast-to-coast coverage for Bombardier operators, enhancing responsiveness, consistency and the overall service experience across Canada. It also reflects Skyservice's long-term strategy to build the leading integrated business aviation platform in North America.”

The Vancouver facility provides certified technicians, mobile repair teams and rapid-response maintenance services intended to improve aircraft availability and operational support across Skyservice's national network.

Bombardier's authorised service facility programme is designed to extend factory-backed maintenance capabilities through approved partners while maintaining common standards of safety, quality and reliability.
