Maintenance and Modifications
Midcoast's activity unbent by downturn
The September 11 terrorist attacks and economic downturn have seemingly done nothing to dent the maintenance and modification business of Midcoast Aviation

The September 11 terrorist attacks and economic downturn have seemingly done nothing to dent the maintenance and modification business of Midcoast Aviation. In results announced last Wednesday, the company logged record 21-percent sales growth in its last financial year (ending June 30, 2002).

Over the past 12 months, Midcoast has opened a new facility at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield, Mo., returned three aircraft to service after major structural damage and developed a reduced vertical separation minimums (RVSM) solution for the British Aerospace Hawker 700. It also managed to send almost two-thirds of its technicians on FAA-approved training programs (earning the Administration’s Diamond Certificate of Excellence for the seventh successive year).
