Flying Colours Corp. Confirms First Saudi Maintenance Order
Peterborough, Ontario, Canada - Canada-based Flying Colours Corp. has received confirmation of its first Saudi-registered aircraft maintenance project. Scheduled to arrive in the first quarter of 2013, the Saudi-registered Challenger 604 will undergo a variety of major inspections, service bulletins and interior refurbishment at the company's Peterborough, Ontario, facility.
Flying Colours Corp. received the required maintenance approvals from the Riyadh-based General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) in September and is now permitted to carry out continuous airworthiness and line maintenance on aircraft registered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
This first maintenance order from Saudi follows the news that Bombardier has appointed Flying Colours Corp. and subsidiary U.S.-based JetCorp Technical Services, as authorized service facilities (ASF) for Learjet and Challenger business jets.
“We know our clients rely heavily on their aircraft for their business travel, it is an essential business tool for them, and with our new Bombardier ASF approval we are in an even stronger position to offer both maintenance and interiors services in parallel," says Sean Gillespie, executive vice president, Flying Colours Corp. "We can minimize time on the ground, significantly saving owners and operators time, money and inconvenience.”
