Victorville Facility Handles Work For Several Airlines
Leading Edge Aviation Services
(LEAS), the largest commercial aircraft painting company in the
world, announced Monday it recently achieved an interesting
milestone -- by painting the 600th aircraft for Continental
Airlines at its Victorville, CA facility.
Since first partnering with Continental in 1994, LEAS has
emblazoned virtually every kind of aircraft -- from MD-80s to
Boeing 777s -- with the airline’s blue and gold branding.
"This is a remarkable achievement that’s truly unmatched
in today’s aircraft services industry," said Mike Manclark,
CEO, LEAS. "No other company in the world has completed as many
aircraft as we have, and at the highest level of quality and safety
that we have. We are honored to have worked with Continental for
the past two decades, and look forward to continue growing with
them as their partner of choice in the many years ahead."
As one of Continental’s longest-standing vendors, LEAS
says it has become the go-to choice for a number of airlines such
as Continental.
"In today’s challenging business climate, airlines need to
know their partners have the facilities and ability to improve turn
times and accommodate their ever-changing schedules," added
Manclark. "That’s what sets us apart. Whether its one plane
or four planes, we can work with any schedule, any plane, and
deliver it on any timeline. We thank our employees at our
Victorville and other aircraft painting facilities for their
continued hard work and focus on quality that has made this
remarkable milestone possible."
