Hawker Beechcraft Adds FR Aviation As New Authorized Service Center

UK-Based Outfit Builds HBC's Global Beech Support Network

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) announced Monday U.K.-based FR Aviation recently joined its worldwide network of authorized service centers to support its Beechcraft line of aircraft. Based at Bournemouth International Airport, FR Aviation’s main facility is strategically located to service Beechcraft customers across Europe, alongside existing service centers.

"FR Aviation is a well respected aerospace company with considerable engineering capabilities," notes Steve Porte, vice president, International Customer Support. "Their appointment as an authorized service center will supplement our existing network to ensure effective support to our ever increasing fleet of aircraft in Europe." 

In addition to its engineering capabilities, FR Aviation and its parent company Cobham plc, are key providers of military airborne electronic warfare training and special-mission services across the world. In Europe, for example, FR Aviation already employs a number of Beechcraft King Air platforms in the precision flight inspection role, and the group will be one of the first users of the new extended-range King Air 350ER.

In addition to the appointment as an authorized service center, HBC and FR Aviation will work together to identify new opportunities for mutual cooperation in the global special-mission environment. 

"FR Aviation is a key provider of special-mission services and we see many opportunities for closer cooperation," said Nigel Guz, business development executive, Special Mission Aircraft. "The appointment as an authorized service center is a valuable mechanism to expand our offerings in the UK and beyond."
