New Life For Used And Refurbished CRJ100/200 Parts
Bombardier Services Corporation and
Magellan Aircraft Services LLLP of Charlotte, North Carolina signed
an agreement last week under which Magellan will disassemble
CRJ100/200 regional jets, refurbish useable components and market
them to operators.
The initial agreement covers 10 CRJ100 aircraft managed by
Bombardier Commercial Aircraft’s Asset Management Group
(AMG). AMG manages and remarkets Bombardier’s previously
owned commercial aircraft portfolio.
“We estimate that each of these aircraft has about 1,500
parts, including 300 line replaceable units (LRUs), that can be
refurbished and offered as a lower-cost solution for an
operator’s spares requirements,” said Rod Sheridan,
Vice President, Asset Management Group, Bombardier Commercial
Aircraft. “Magellan Aircraft Services will offer these parts,
including engines, for sale or lease.”
“Another benefit to this agreement is that since Magellan
Aircraft Services is a global supplier, they will provide
additional channels for operators to easily acquire genuine,
certified parts for their CRJ aircraft,” said Mr.
Sheridan.

The CRJ100/200 aircraft was originally
developed as the Canadair Regional Jet, and was launched in March
1989. It was the world’s first 50-seat regional jet. The
aircraft has a high degree of commonality with other models in the
CRJ Series aircraft family, which can translate to operational
flexibility and cost savings potential. As of April 30, 2009,
Bombardier had delivered 1,047 CRJ100/200/440 aircraft and their
corporate variants to operators around the world.
