Marshall Aviation Services wins support contract from Suraviation
The agreement is to provide MRO and technical support for their seven Cessna Citations, predominantly Mustangs, plus one CJ2. Marshall, drawing on its 40 years’ experience providing Citation support, will provide base support in the UK at their Cambridge headquarters, together with AOG support in Europe.
The two companies first came together in October 2013 when Suraviation required urgent technical support while on a flight into Cambridge. They met again in Geneva in May and talked about long term collaboration, demonstrating the value of EBACE, Europe’s premier business aviation show. With Marshall-owned FlairJet also operating Cessna aircraft and welcoming a Mustang to the fleet next month, there is also an opportunity to broaden the relationship.
“Having been swift to respond to Suraviation last year they were impressed with our level of service and responsiveness. This proved to be a strong foundation to build on and we are now delighted to reach an agreement to support their whole fleet.” said Steve Pantry, Marshall Aviation Services Operations Manager at Cambridge (pictured middle with Pedro Orejas - CEO Suraviation and José Manuel Pérez de La Cruz, Vice President, Suraviation) . Marshall’s ability to perform peripheral support services such as interior refurbishment, repairs and upgrades with a significant in-house design capability gives us the edge over many peers serving the Citation market,” he added.
“On the back of this newly won business from Suraviation we are now evaluating the opportunity to establish more of a presence in Spain,” commented Marshall Aviation Services Vice President Business Aviation Services James Dillon Godfray. Marshall Aviation Services’ MRO activity covers Europe, Middle East and Africa, on the Hawker and Beechcraft family, and now on Bombardier’s Global Express. In addition, further co-operation is envisaged between our own business aircraft fleet, managed by FlairJet, which include Embraer Phenom 100, Mustang, Excel, Bravo and King Air 350 types.
