MAGA Aviation has been a Bombardier Authorized Service Facility (ASF) since 2013.

“MAGA is a dynamic young company that has earned the confidence of Bombardier customers in the region in a relatively short span of time,” said Stephane Leroy, Vice president, Sales Latin America. “This partnership will reinforce Bombardier’s strong OEM support in the region, providing additional maintenance capacity to ensure customers have continued access to the highest quality maintenance and support services right in their own backyard.”

With operations based at Aeroporto de Amarais Campinas in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, MAGA Aviation is certified by the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) to perform maintenance work on all Learjet and Global jets as well as mostChallenger aircraft models.

MAGA Aviation can dispatch an Aircraft On Ground (AOG) team and a fully equipped mobile truck anywhere in South America to get the aircraft flying again with minimal delay.

Bombardier business aircraft operators in South America also benefit from locally-based field service representatives, 24/7/365 support from its Customer Response Centre and dedicated customer support account managers assigned to each operator in the region.

Additionally, with the recent opening of a parts depot in Miami, Florida, Bombardier continues to ensure its facilities worldwide are strategically located in order to better meet the needs of its customer located in Central and South America, as well as the Southeast United States. Located only 20 minutes from two major airports with easy flight connections from Miami and Fort Lauderdale, the depot provides customers with quick access to a large inventory of parts.
