“Wake up, smell the coffee: the Avro Business Jet (ABJ) has arrived!” is the message from BAe Systems Regional Aircraft and two new partners announced here yesterday. As reported in Tuesday’s EBACE Convention News, the UK manufacturer has teamed with maintenance and cabin-interiors specialists to provide a one-stop shop for prospective customers looking for a large-capacity corporate jet. Inflite Engineering Services will provide custom completion and necessary maintenance and modification of candidate BAe 146 and Avro RJ quadjets, while consultancy Design Q is to offer interior designs.
Potential customers checking out Inflite’s credentials will have two reasons for warm feelings when they enter its London Stansted Airport hangars, according to managing director Steve Buckingham: the 146/Avro RJs aircraft being maintained on behalf of flag-carriers and the fact that Inflite recognizes that a coffee-maker is the most important piece of equipment on a corporate jet. He said Inflite has completed 500 146/RJ maintenance ‘C’ checks.
