Bombardier's new European mobile response aircraft enters into service

MONTREAL, Quebec - Bombardier announced the latest addition to its 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 unscheduled maintenance support.

The strategically located Challenger 300 aircraft will supplement the shipping of parts from Bombardier’s main European parts distribution hub at Frankfurt International Airport. Its 3,065-NM (5,646-km) range and Mach 0.83 top speed capability will enhance the MRT’s reach and response times to a fleet size of more than 700 aircraft in Europe and the Middle East.

Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Vice-President and General Manager, Customer Experience, Bombardier Business Aircraft, said, “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.”
