SINGAPORE - Aircraft manufacturer Bombardier on Thursday unveiled an expanded service centre in Singapore four times the size of the original amid a surge in demand for private jet services globally.

The centre is expected to support more than 2,000 business jet visits each year and is now the largest maintenance facility of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region, a key part of the firm's global network, Bombardier said. Before its expansion, the service centre supported 895 private jet visits in 2019.

"We're not exactly back to where we were pre-Covid-19, but there is less than a 10 per cent gap," he said."Now that the traffic is coming back, we feel that the facility is going to be filled very, very quickly... I'm pretty optimistic that it will do better than pre-Covid-19 eventually." New additions to the centre, which first opened here in 2014, include a full-service, environmentally controlled paint facility, the first in Asia, and new heavy structural and composite repair capabilities. The expanded centre also houses an integrated parts depot that is open 24/7 and will serve both Singapore and the wider region.

Bombardier said environmental sustainability was a key part of the expanded service centre's design. Green features include electric vehicle chargers, LED lighting and low-flow plumbing fixtures. The Business Times reported last year that private aviation service providers have been building up their physical presence in Singapore due to the strong demand in South-east Asia.
