JetCorp Technical Services Flies into Indonesia with first CRJ ExecLiner conversion for the region.

Tuesday 31st July 2012

JetCorp Technical Services, Inc. a subsidiary of Flying Colours Corp., has begun work on the latest in its series of state-of-the-art executive conversions of the Bombardier CRJ 200 regional airliner.

The Bombardier CRJ will be transformed into an ExecLiner executive VIP configuration destined for a private Indonesian client. This is the first ExecLiner to be readied for Indonesia and during the conversion process Flying Colours will work closely with the client and Bombardier to achieve Indonesian type certification for the CRJ200. Flying Colours will supply an FAA STC that will subsequently be validated by the Indonesian regulatory body and the aircraft will be exported to Indonesia upon completion.

The highly specified aircraft will be transformed from its high-density regional jet layout to a luxuriously appointed executive jet featuring a 22 seat configuration, which represents additional seating compared with other previously completed ExecLiners. It is planned for the interior to be tastefully decorated in traditional yet elegant colour selections and will include a reconfigured galley and first class lavatory.

In addition to an extensive pre-purchase evaluation, and the interior conversion, Jetcorp will also be carrying out an extensive maintenance package on the aircraft at its full spectrum MRO facility. Maintenance work will include a landing gear overhaul, a 96-month inspection, the conversion from a high utilisation maintenance programme (HUMP) to a low maintenance programme (LUMP) and the incorporation of all outstanding Airworthiness Directives.

The completion of the interior including the construction of all new monuments, soft goods, woodwork, avionics upgrades, and installation of all items will be completed at Jetcorp with exterior paint work and final sign off to be completed at Flying Colours' Peterborough, Ontario facility. The collaboration on the project will highlight the extensive capabilities of both locations and again reinforce the ability of its two locations to collectively deliver a high quality product to its worldwide customer base.

This latest conversion will be carried out at the St Louis, Missouri based facility, and is due for completion in early 2013. It is the fourth ExecLiner that JetCorp has undertaken, and twelfth that Flying Colours Corp. as a whole has converted.

This latest project, the first for an Indonesian private client represents a move into a key new market for Flying Colours Corp: "We have met with multiple potential private customers in Southeast Asia in recent months. The interest in our services in this region has increased dramatically and we are receiving a growing number of requests from the Indonesian area particularly," said Eric Gillespie, Flying Colours Corp. Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing. The latest project follows hard on the heels of Flying Colours delivery of three new Bombardier Challenger 850 aircraft completions to mainland China and Hong Kong this year.
