Tempe, Ariz. – September 11, 2012 – Associated Air Center, StandardAero’s Large Transport Category VIP Completions Center in Dallas, Texas, has signed an agreement for the maintenance and interior refurbishment of a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) for a West African Head of State. The work will take place over the next several months.
The customer is a repeat customer of AAC’s, delivering the aircraft new back in 2006. At that time, the aircraft represented AAC’s 14th BBJ completion since 1998, when becoming a BBJ Authorized Completion and Service Center.
“The return of this aircraft to AAC, for this first major work-scope since initially entering into service, was possible due to the reliable interior and interior systems installed by AAC and the support that AAC has provided this customer for the last six years,” said Chris Schechter, Vice President & General Manager, Associated Air Center. “This repeat business confirms customer confidence in our dedicated people, experience and skills to support their elegant interiors and complex systems.”
