ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Sept. 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ONE Aviation is pleased to announce that it has further expanded its international service center network for Eclipse 500™, Eclipse SE™, and Eclipse 550™ twin-engine jets, adding C2 Aviation as its fourth European and first UK Gold Service Center. C2 Aviation will provide maintenance, inspections, parts and warranty support, as well as AOG services for Eclipse aircraft.
“We are pleased to add C2 Aviation to the Eclipse family,” said Cary Winter, EVP Manufacturing, Engineering, and Technical Operations for ONE Aviation. “This culminates more than a year of search and preparation to find a great service provider for Eclipse operators in the UK.”
Based at Cotswold Airport, formally Kemble Airfield (EGBP) in Gloucestershire, England, C2 Aviation was established in 2013 by Chris Vaughan and Charlie Kyle who each have 35 years of aviation maintenance experience. C2 Aviation provides services not only for Eclipse aircraft, but also for a wide range of general aviation jets and turboprops.
“With the Eclipse 550 now in production and the imminent arrival of its EASA certification, we are looking ahead to a growing number of Eclipse aircraft that will need a maintenance facility in the UK and Europe,” said Charlie Kyle, C2 Aviation’s managing director. “We are extremely excited that we were chosen by ONE Aviation to provide maintenance services to its growing fleet.”
C2 Aviation joins the two Eclipse Platinum Service Centers, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Chicago, Illinois, as well as the six Gold Service Centers in Boca Raton, Florida; San Diego, California; Curitiba, Brazil; Eelde, The Netherlands; Friedrichshafen, Germany; and Istanbul, Turkey. In the coming months, ONE Aviation intends to add additional Eclipse Authorized Service Centers to meet the needs of the growing Eclipse worldwide fleet.
