Bombardier has chosen Dunlop Aircraft Tyres for its new CRJ1000 Next Gen regional jet
Dunlop Aircraft Tyres has been selected by Bombardier as an alternate tyre source to support after-market needs for the new 100-seat CRJ1000 Next Gen regional jet.
The aircraft, which is due to enter service at the end of 2010 with a range of up to 1,691 nautical miles and maximum take off weight of 41,640kg, has notched up firm orders with carriers including Adria Airways and Brit Air.
Dunlop Aircraft Tyres, one of two approved suppliers for the CRJ1000 aircraft, will manufacture and retread the tyres at its facility in Birmingham, UK – a site that is ideally located to provide excellent support for the aircraft’s initial customers.
“No other company provides such a complete range for Bombardier’s regional aircraft,” said Dunlop Aircraft Tyres chairman, Ian Edmondson. “Our CRJ tyres have proven landing life and excellent retreadability, providing operators with an attractive cost of ownership.
“We are delighted to have the opportunity to build on our relationship with Bombardier by supporting the CRJ1000 Next Gen aircraft.”
