The Peterborough headquarters of MRO and completions specialist Flying Colours announced Bombardier Business Aircraft has awarded the MRO heavy authorized service facility (ASF) status to work on the Global 5000 and Global 6000. Bombardier has also renewed its existing ASF status for a further five years at both its Canadian and U.S. facilities.
"The addition of Global aircraft to our existing Bombardier ASF status illustrates the confidence the manufacturer has in us to perform work on the Global business jets and enables us to work with an even greater number of owners and operators,” said Eric Gillespie, vice president, Flying Colours Corp. The existing Peterborough ASF agreement currently covers heavy work undertaken on the Bombardier Challenger 605 and Challenger 850.
Bombardier Business Aircraft originally named Flying Colours an ASF in October 2012. This year the completions specialist's Chesterfield, Mo. facility received Bombardier’s annual ASF Excellence Award in the North America category as well as Flying Colours.
