Bombardier has acquired Velocity Maintenance Solutions, expanding its U.S. maintenance, repair, and overhaul capabilities and its aircraft-on-ground support network. The acquisition was completed through Bombardier U.S. subsidiary Learjet and forms part of the company’s broader strategy to expand its services business. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Velocity Maintenance Solutions operates a 35,000-sq-ft hangar at Delaware’s Wilmington Airport (KILG) and supports its maintenance operations with 14 mobile repair trucks across the U.S.
“Velocity Maintenance Solutions’ capabilities and customer-focused culture make it an excellent fit for Bombardier,” said Paul Sislian, executive v-p for aircraft sales and Bombardier aftermarket services. He added that the acquisition supports Bombardier’s ongoing efforts to raise service standards across its global network.
According to Bombardier, the purchase strengthens its U.S. service footprint and aligns with its long-term strategy of expanding services through targeted investments, infrastructure growth, and acquisitions. The company said the expanded network will provide operators with broader coverage and increased access to maintenance and support resources, including for its recently certified ultra-long-range Global 8000.
