Inflite The Jet Centre, part of the Inflite group of companies, based at London Stansted Airport has bought Challenger and Global Express specialist Excellence Aviation Services. The purchase includes Excellence Aviation Services, its Part 145 organisation and CAMO, as well as Excellence Aviation, its Part NCC aircraft management business.
With fresh investment and a dedicated home within Inflite’s 250,000 ft² hangar space, Excellence Aviation Services’ line station activity will expand to offer full base maintenance at Stansted for Challenger and Global Express aircraft. Inflite, meanwhile, will continue to grow its Embraer executive jet MRO, together with its BBJ work.
While London Stansted will be EAS’s new HQ effective immediately, it will continue to offer line maintenance at London Oxford, Luton, Stansted and Farnborough Airports. Its 12 staff, to be joined shortly by two more licensed engineers, will further strengthen Inflite’s 60-strong MRO team.
EAS Founder Colin Solley and partner Mike Smith will remain with the business and play a significant role in shaping the group’s growth plans, said Christoffer Creutz, Inflite The Jet Centre’s Managing Director, who joined from Lufthansa Technik two and half years ago.
