SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. 2, 2003 – General Dynamics
Aviation Services’ West Palm Beach service center has received
approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to perform
maintenance on Hawker 800XP business jets.
“
By earning this rating, we’re providing Hawker 800 operators
more choice when it comes to their aircraft maintenance,” said
Larry Flynn, president, General Dynamics Aviation Services. “We’ve
already been approached by a few Hawker 800XP operators, requesting
that we provide maintenance services for their aircraft. We’re
confident that with the quality and expediency with which we
perform our work, these new customers will evolve into regular
customers.”
Earlier this year, the General Dynamics Aviation Services’ West
Palm Beach, Fla., maintenance center received Challenger 600,
601 and 604 ratings from the FAA.
“
After receiving the Challenger rating we experienced a marked
increase in Challenger work,” Flynn said. “We expect
the same scenario to occur now that we have the new Hawker rating.”
In addition to Hawker aircraft, the General Dynamics Aviation
Services’ West Palm Beach service center performs service
and maintenance on Challenger, Citation, Falcon, Gulfstream,
Learjet and other business aircraft.
