Bombardier to expand aftermarket service centers across multiple US locations

Bombardier BBD.A said on Thursday it would expand its services and support network to multiple regions in the United States, as the Canadian business jet maker aims to meet increasing demand for aftermarket care from its customers.

The expansion is expected to roll out over the coming years and will focus on both regions where the company currently operates as well as new ones, it said in a statement, without disclosing the names of the areas.

Bombardier had said last year it was boosting its aftermarket centers to help it hit a services revenue target of $2 billion in 2025.

The Montreal-based company, which has centers for its services business in Dallas, Tucson, Hartford, Wichita and Miami Opa Locka, expects stronger profit in the rest of the year, helped by higher deliveries of its more profitable Global models and defense products.
