Most Recent Delivery From Valair Aviation Goes To South
America
An airplane with a reputation as a workhorse is seeing something
of a resurgence, at least according to one company which
refurbishes the aircraft. Valair Aviation has noted an increase in
activity for Hawker Beechcraft 1900D aircraft, as evidenced by yet
another modification the company completed – this time for a
customer in South America. “As a maintenance, repair and
overhaul facility and one of two factory certified repair stations
for 1900s, refurbishing this aircraft is part of our core
business,” commented Jeff Snyder, Valair President. “We
have noticed a sharp uptick in recent 1900 cargo and high density
conversions, validating its position as a fuel efficient, versatile
utility aircraft.”

A 19-passenger, pressurized twin-engine turboprop airplane, the
Beechcraft 1900 was designed and has been used primarily as a
regional airliner. Because of its ability to fly in all weather
conditions from airports with relatively short runways, the 1900 is
also used as a freight aircraft, corporate transport, and by the
United States military and other governments.
“Each aircraft that comes into our shop has a unique level
of maintenance or repair that will be required based on its
intended mission,” added Snyder. “Valair has extensive
experience repairing and modifying each model for optimal
performance in its role.”
This is the fifth 1900 that Valair has modified or refurbished
in the past year. Prior modifications included complete
refurbishments, engine upgrades, main spar replacement, avionics
upgrades, customized interiors and paint.
