Dunlop wins fitment on Bombadier aircraft

ERJ staff report (DS)

Birmingham, UK -- 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 which 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 than Dunlop Aircraft Tyres,” said the company's chairman, Ian Edmondson.
