Bombardier Commercial Aircraft will relocate its Q Series aircraft regional support team from Lanseria International Airport to Airways Park, close to O.R. Tambo International Airport, in a bid to facilitate faster response times.
This move will co-locate the regional support team for the Q Series aircraft with Bombardier’s longstanding customer, South African Express Airways.
The CRJ Series Aircraft Program will maintain support to the region from its current location in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Todd Young, vice president and general manager, head of Q Series Aircraft Program, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft, said:“The relocation of our Africa and Middle East Q Series regional support team is another step in our ongoing efforts to enhance our accessibility and support to customers and operators in the region.
“O.R. Tambo International Airport serves as the primary airport for travel to and from South Africa, so it fits with our strategy to position our regional support teams where they are best able to offer timely support before, during and beyond an aircraft’s entry into service.”
