Customised VIP conversions

by BAE Systems Regional Aircraft and Inflite Engineering Services Ltd.

BAE Systems Regional Aircraft announced at EBACE that it has teamed up with Inflite Engineering Services Ltd, one of the UK's leading corporate aircraft completion, maintenance, repair and overhaul centres and FBOs, to carry out high quality, customised VIP conversions on the Avro Business Jet.

Increased market interest in the Avro Business Jet has meant that Regional Aircraft have sought to give corporate customers access to a completion centre with proven knowledge of the aircraft. Inflite Engineering Services has years of experience on the BAe 146/Avro RJ and has carried out an increasing number of high-quality Bae 146 Avro RJ corporate conversions.

Founded in 1983, the Inflite Group is a prime supplier to the aerospace market and has grown steadily to reach an annual turnover in excess of £45 million. Inflite is based in comprehensive, new, purpose built manufacturing facilities at

Stansted, Chelmsford and Manchester. The total surface area occupied by the Group exceeds 600,000 square feet, and is one of the largest privately owned facilities of its kind in the UK.

From the start the group has provided corporate aviation maintenance services at its London Stansted and London Southend Airport bases. For many years the company has concentrated on providing services for the BAe 146/Avro RJ, but it also caters for many other corporate, regional aircraft and mainstream aircraft types for which it performs modifications, avionics upgrades and cabin upgrades, aircraft conversions, line and heavy maintenance, AOG support and storage programmes.

They have unbeatable expertise on the ABJ and recently celebrated the 500th 'C' Check on the BAe 146/Avro RJ.

They have built up capability and expertise in the top quality corporate conversions market, working closely with design houses to produce many varied interiors and In-flight Entertainment (IFE) options to meet customer requirements.

In addition, Inflite has an Executive Jet Centre at Stansted, which is widely recognised as one of the leading FBOs in Europe, setting the benchmark for facilities and service.
