Airlines can Now Refurbish Aircraft Inside and Out Significantly Reducing Downtime
Leading Edge Aviation Services, Inc. (LEAS), the world’s largest commercial aircraft painting company, has successfully launched an Aircraft Interiors Program to compliment its exterior painting operations. The new service means that airlines can transform their aircraft with a fresh new look – inside and out – in as little as six days.
“We’ve found that with the recession and a number of recent mergers, there’s never been a greater need for this kind of one-stop shopping,” said Mike Manclark, CEO, LEAS. “As a maintenance partner to virtually all the major airlines, it’s our job to find creative new ways to get them there. That’s why we launched this service. Instead of a separate trip to the shop to for new fabrics, seats, or even lavatories, our customers can now get that done while the aircraft is being painted. It’s just one more way we’re making things easier for our customers during this tough economic time.”
As part of our new suite of interior services, Leading Edge now offers everything from cabin mods to change outs, including carpets, fabrics, seatback covers, countertops, overheads, lavatories and more. Originally piloted in the company’s Victorville, CA facility, the service has received overwhelming customer response, and is now available at all Leading Edge locations across the country.
“The Interiors Program is really about giving airlines better, more efficient tools to make a good impression,” added Manclark. “It’s a fast and efficient way to give an aircraft a brand new level of polish and professionalism without the costly wait. This way they’re back in the air faster, there’s less costs with out-of-service days, and the aircraft are looking better than ever. It truly is a win-win situation.”
