Bombardier has scheduled five regional maintenance and operations conferences for this year. The Canadian OEM has a 20-year tradition of holding large M&O conferences in North America for Learjet, Challenger and Global operators. This year it is expanding its outreach program to include two-day regional M&O conferences in Hong Kong (April 13 to 15), Amsterdam (September 21 to 23) and Atlanta (October 18 to 20). There will also be one-day briefings in Dubai and Mumbai, with dates to be announced in the near future. The next regularly scheduled, large biennial M&O conference will be held in Chicago (April 12 to 14, 2011).
“The decision to expand our M&O conference schedule internationally this year is part of our effort to bring our support closer to our customers,” Andy Nureddin, vice president for customer services and support, told AIN. “These regional M&Os will enable our international customer base to interact directly with our subject-matter experts, giving us a clearer understanding of their unique needs so we can better serve and support them.”
