Bombardier has appointed Stuart Bailey as general manager of its newly-acquired Berlin service facility in Germany.

Bailey worked at Lufthansa for more than two decades and his career has taken him across Germany and to Malta and the US. He has extensive experience in the management of line and base maintenance facilities.

His mandate as general manager of the Berlin Service Centre will be to “continue to create winning conditions to further grow and develop the facility and its people”, Bombardier said.

“Stuart will continue the important task of further growing business at the new Berlin Service Centre in addition to providing an unsurpassed customer experience,” said Bombardier executive vice president, services and support, and corporate strategy Jean-Christophe Gallagher.

“The newly integrated service centre will allow Bombardier to further expand its worldwide customer support footprint in Europe, and we look forward to offering our customers the outstanding expertise and support only the OEM can provide.”
