Orlando, Fla. – October 30, 2012 – StandardAero Business Aviation announced today that it now offers CF34™ Authorized Line Service maintenance throughout all of its North American facilities. Those sites include: Los Angeles (LAX), Springfield, Ill. (SPI), Houston, Texas (IAH) and Augusta, Ga. (AGS). The Authorization allows Challenger 601/604/605 operators to obtain line services including GE Warranty and GE OnPointSM for business jets at any of the StandardAero-owned fly-in facilities or at remote locations using the StandardAero Mobile Service Team.
