Bombardier is announcing the addition of a new two-bay paint facility at London Biggin Hill Airport to enhance its high-quality service offering. With plans to open in the second half of 2026, the facility will be approximately 51,000 sq. ft. and designed to accommodate all Bombardier Global, Challenger and Learjet aircraft. It will be a significant addition to London Biggin Hill Airport’s infrastructure and once operational, it is estimated to generate over 50 skilled jobs, underscoring the airport’s support for local job creation.

Robert Walters, Commercial Director at London Biggin Hill Airport, commented: “Bombardier’s sustained investment in new facilities at London Biggin Hill highlights the airport’s role as a strategic hub for MRO operations. Together with Bombardier, we will continue delivering premium services to our customers, creating valuable local employment opportunities, and strengthening our contribution to the regional economy.”

Paul Sislian, Executive Vice President, Aftermarket Service & Strategy at Bombardier, said: “The addition of the new paint facility at the London Biggin Hill Service Centre is the latest example of how we continue to expand our service offerings for our customers in order to keep their aircraft in the air – and looking good as well. It perfectly aligns with our objective to ensure customers consistently receive an outstanding experience throughout our service centre network, ensuring their aircraft are always at the ready for important missions.”
