Associated Air Center (AAC), a pioneer in the VIP airliner completions business, is closing at the end of this year, just shy of its 70th anniversary. AAC parent StandardAero announced the plans late yesterday, saying current and future volumes of work aren’t sufficient to support the costs necessary to run the facility. StandardAero made “multiple attempts to sell the business” before coming to the decision to shutter it altogether, the company said.
