Putting our customers first locally, globally

Bombardier is committed to putting its customers first by offering the highest level of support as close as possible to their operational bases. At the end of 2011, Bombardier doubled its number of regional support offices (RSO) for business aircraft customers by expanding capabilities at its Sydney, Australia commercial aircraft RSO to include business aircraft as well as opening new locations in São Paulo, Brazil and Singapore.

The new Singapore RSO for business aircraft, opened in 2011, works alongside Bombardier's already-established parts depot and Authorized Service Facilities (ASF) in the area, as well as the company's RSO and parts depot in Hong Kong, both also opened in 2011.

The new facilities are part of Bombardier's global plan to provide international customers with access to regional support services in their own time zones and languages. Bombardier's RSO network for business and commercial aircraft also includes locations in Mumbai, India; Tokyo, Japan; Sydney, Australia; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Shanghai, China; and Munich, Germany.

Bombardier Customer Services will also host a series of technically-focused conferences in the Asia-Pacific region throughout the year, beginning with its Regional Maintenance & Operations Conference in Hong Kong on February 21-23, 2012 for business aircraft operators. The event will be complemented by Customer Briefings held later throughout the year in Mumbai, India and Shanghai, China. Upcoming regional events for commercial aircraft customers will include the CRJ Series Asia Pacific Regional Review in Chongqing, China, as well as the Q-Series Asia Pacific Regional Review in Osaka, Japan, both in November 2012.
