Last summer, Flexjet announced that Flying Colours Corp., was joining the Flexjet family of companies.
“Bringing the capabilities of Constant Aviation, which Flexjet bought earlier this year and now Flying Colours in-house enables us to ensure both the highest possible service quality and the maximum availability of aircraft for our owners,” said Flexjet Chairman Kenn Ricci. “Flexjet now fully controls its maintenance and product support needs, and this aligns with our strategic vision of differentiating ourselves from the competition at every level and in every way.”
Flying Colours, headquartered in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, offers not only a full range of MRO services but also a comprehensive set of additional capabilities specifically focused on aircraft interior completions and refurbishments, as well as custom aircraft painting.
The recently opened paint and completions hangars at Peterborough Airport exemplify Flying Colours’ commitment to meeting any need. It is among the industry’s largest, enabling Flying Colours to handle multiple aircraft simultaneously.
“Flying Colours’ relationship with Flexjet spans decades. Our culture and focus on quality aligns perfectly and we look forward to expanding on a vision that is unlike anything I have seen before in business aviation,” said John Gillespie, Flying Colours’ president and CEO.
Flexjet’s global maintenance facility footprint now includes 12 primary maintenance facilities and 30 geographically strategic AOG teams to provide field support to the fleet. This includes the new Flying Colours facilities at Peterborough Airport and at Spirit of St. Louis Airport, located west of St. Louis, Missouri.
Approximately 250 Flying Colours team members will join Flexjet.
