Bombardier Aerospace Secures Contract With Oman Air

Enterprise, Trade and Investment Minister Arlene Foster has welcomed the announcement by Bombardier Aerospace that it has secured an eight-year contract with Oman Air.

The contract will see Bombardier undertake all repair work on Rolls-Royce Trent 700 inlet cowls for Oman Air's fleet of Airbus A330 aircraft.

Speaking from the Bombardier stand at the Dubai Air Show Arlene Foster said: "The announcement signals the continued success of Bombardier's expanding component repair and overhaul business centred at its new facility in Newtownabbey, from which it is servicing a wide range of international customers."

Bombardier established a new dedicated nacelles manufacturing and component repair facility at Doagh Road, Newtownabbey in 2012. This facility supplies engine nacelles to Bombardier, Airbus, Rolls-Royce and other customers as well as supporting these products with a range of international airlines.
