Skyservice Business Aviation has expanded aircraft detailing services to its <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2018-01-18/skyservice-expand-toronto-pearson">flagship</a> FBO at Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ), marking its first availability for the company in Canada.&nbsp;The services, which include OEM-approved exterior and interior detailing, were already established at the Fontainebleau Aviation (<a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2023-10-19/skyservice-makes-major-move-miami">a Skyservice company</a>) locations in Miami (KOPF) and Fort Lauderdale (KFLL).
These services will be offered to both based and transient clients of the company’s Toronto FBO, using material-specific processes to protect aircraft surfaces and finishes and maintain the cabin environment for passengers and crew.&nbsp;Designed to be integrated with flight activity, maintenance events, and FBO operations, the scheduling will aim to minimize aircraft downtime.
“Aircraft detailing plays an important role in maintaining aircraft condition and appearance over time,” explained Skyservice president and CEO Benjamin Murray. “Extending this service to Toronto strengthens our ability to support aircraft owners through a fully integrated service model—bringing detailing, maintenance, FBO, and operational support together to simplify aircraft care across its lifecycle.”
