VIP Completions Expands Access to Canadian Market with FAA/TCCA MIPs Certification

VIP Completions, providers of aircraft completions and refurbishment services, announces that it has earned a maintenance implementation procedures (MIPs) designation and has simultaneously unveiled a fully refurbished Bombardier Global 5500 — the company’s first serialized supplemental type certificate (SSTC) project for a Canadian client.

MIPs are bilateral agreements between the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) that allow certified maintenance organizations to perform work on aircraft registered in either country. MIPs simplify approvals, reduce duplication and facilitate cross-border operations.

While most VIP Completions’ projects have been for U.S.-registered aircraft, MIPs certification expands the company’s capabilities to service and refurbish Canadian-registered (C-Reg) aircraft at its Fort Lauderdale headquarters. These new provisions are particularly relevant given the high percentage of Canadian business aircraft that operate through South Florida for maintenance, winter operations, business travel and personal travel.

“Many C-Reg aircraft routinely visit South Florida,” says Ben Shirazi, president, VIP Completions. “And now, we can seamlessly support these aircraft at our clients’ destination of choice. Earning this designation marks an important milestone for us because MIPs opens access to a large and rapidly growing market of more than 600 C-Reg business aircraft.”
