Bombardier gets FAA nod for servicing schedule


 
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 (Bernama) -- The Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) has granted approval for the maintenance intervals escalation of the CRJ700, CRJ900 and CRJ1000 aircraft.

The line maintenance interval (A-check) is extended to 800 flight hours and the heavy maintenance interval (C-check) to 8,000 flight hours, a statement today said.

“We are thrilled that our operators are benefiting from our continuous improvement mindset as with this evolution, the CRJ Series operators can now take advantage of 14 per cent less maintenance days, meaning more days of revenue flying,” said Bombardier Commercial Aircraft CRJ Series programme head, Charles Comtois.

The maintenance intervals have doubled since the launch of the CRJ aircraft family. The new maintenance intervals are applicable for new production deliveries as well as all CRJ700, CRJ900, and CRJ1000 aircraft in service.
