FORT WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier today announced the planned opening of a new service centre at Fort Wayne International Airport in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As the company’s new maintenance facility in the Midwestern United States, this new service centre kicks off Bombardier’s previously announced multi-phase, large-scale U.S. expansion initiative. Complementing the company’s heavy maintenance facilities throughout the U.S. and existing parts hub in Chicago, the new location will further strengthen customers’ ability to access exceptional service and support. With top rankings in both Aviation International News and ProPilot Product Support surveys, Bombardier continues to set the benchmark for easy, industry-leading service.

Once fully operational, the 64,500 square foot facility will offer hangar space able to accommodate up to six aircraft. The site will provide a full range of services — including scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, modifications, avionics installations and AOG support.

“The U.S. is a key market for Bombardier, with nearly 3,000 aircraft in operation. Growing demand from the Midwest made Fort Wayne a natural choice for our newest service centre, which will serve as a strategic hub for customers from across the region and beyond,” said Paul Sislian, Executive Vice President, Aftermarket Services & Strategy, Bombardier. “This new service centre demonstrates our unwavering commitment toward customer proximity and convenience, as well as offering superior care backed by the confidence of world-class expertise. This facility strengthens our service footprint across the U.S., supports our long-term vision for economic growth and local job creation, and reflects the steadfast commitment of our regional partners.”
