Flexjet has continued to expand its maintenance capabilities with the purchase of Canadian MRO provider Flying Colours. The move follows Flexjet’s acquisition earlier this year of affiliated company Constant Aviation and gives it additional fleet repair facilities in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Flexjet’s maintenance network now includes 12 primary facilities and 30 AOG teams.

Based in Peterborough, Ontario, and with a facility at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Missouri, Flying Colours offers a full range of MRO services as well as newly enhanced aircraft completions and refurbishment capabilities. At Peterborough, the company recently opened a 61,000-sq-ft completions hangar, one of the largest in the industry, allowing it to handle multiple projects simultaneously, while its new 40,000-sq-ft paint hangar can accommodate aircraft up to the size of airliners.
