In July 2018, Airbus acquired a 50.01% stake in the CSeries for one Canadian dollar, with an option to acquire the remaining interest by 2024. On January 26, 2018, the United States International Trade Commission overturned the tariffs. The governments of Canada and the United Kingdom threatened to stop ordering Boeing aircraft since the company was putting aerospace jobs at risk. Boeing's complaint stated that the CS100 planes were being sold at US$19.6 million each, below the US$33.2 million production cost. On September 26, 2017, after Boeing complained that Bombardier was selling the CS100 to Delta Air Lines below cost due to subsidies from the governments of Canada and Quebec, the United States Department of Commerce proposed a 219% tariff on the aircraft. In April 2016, Delta Air Lines placed an order for the aircraft. Air Canada placed an order for the aircraft one day earlier. On June 29, 2016, Bombardier delivered the first CSeries CS100 aircraft (now called the Airbus A220) to Swiss International Air Lines. “Our new facility provides significant benefits, including quick aircraft turnarounds, greater convenience and OEM peace of mind to Bombardier’s growing customer base in the US and around the world.A Bombardier CSeries ( Airbus A220) in Swiss livery “The new Miami-Opa Locka service centre brings essential, specialised services for our customers, enabling us to continue to deliver the service excellence they have come to expect from Bombardier,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, executive vice president, services and support, and corporate strategy, Bombardier.

Bombardier’s service centre network currently has openings for a variety of technical and professional roles. Technicians will receive Bombardier’s Type Training Course for Mechanical and Avionics certification to provide maintenance services at all 10 of Bombardier’s service centres worldwide, including its newly expanded facilities in London Biggin Hill, UK, and Singapore, as well as its new facility in Melbourne, Australia. The expanded hangar at the service centre is also capable of holding 18 of Bombardier’s Global 7500 aircraft under one roof.īombardier is also currently hiring additional maintenance technicians both in Florida and across its entire service network to support its recent expansions. The new facility is fully equipped to perform full-service scheduled and unscheduled heavy maintenance, paint enhancement services, aircraft modifications, avionics installations and AOG support for Bombardier’s business aircraft fleet of Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft. “We are extremely proud to now be home to one of Bombardier’s service centres worldwide and a hub for its customers in the US and Latin America.” “Congratulations to Bombardier on the successful completion of its newest service centre, which has brought hundreds of new jobs and millions of dollars in private investment to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport and Miami-Dade County,” said Ralph Cutié, Miami-Dade Aviation Department director and CEO. The city of Miami is a vibrant, international hub of business and commerce and we can’t wait to welcome our customers to our new facility and see our employees continue to thrive and grow.” “Bombardier began this year by naming Wichita as our new headquarters in the US, and I am delighted to highlight this inauguration that significantly grows our footprint and employment base in Florida. “The US is an important market for Bombardier with close to 3,000 aircraft in our fleet, and this highly efficient facility provides a key focal point for customers based in the area, and those who will visit from as far as Latin America,” said Éric Martel, president and CEO, Bombardier. Once fully ramped up, the 300,000ft² facility will more than quadruple Bombardier’s current maintenance footprint in Florida and allow the company to transfer its service centre operations from Fort Lauderdale to the new customer service centre at OPF, located close to Miami’s business district.
