EASA granted Flying Colours an STC for new Corporate Shuttle
Flying Colours has been granted a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) by EASA for new CRJ ExecuLiner Corporate Shuttle.
The STC, which was confirmed in June 2013, covers the interior modifications for the CRJ ExecLiner Shuttle format developed internally by Flying Colours Corp.
This latest interior is designed to accommodate 16 passengers in a spacious business class environment. Some available interior options include coloured LED mood lighting, high speed data & wifi solutions, IFE installations, and updated galley & lavatory designs.
This latest EASA STC complements the STC awarded by Transport Canada for this specific shuttle conversion in 2012 and the Federal Aviation Association (FAA) will confirm its STC approval in the near future.
Flying Colours Corp is already working on nine Corporate Shuttle ExecLiners for three undisclosed international clients.
“The Corporate Shuttle ExecLiner is becoming increasingly attractive for the market owing to its cost-effective proposition. Pre-owned CRJ aircraft are very competitively priced, operating costs are comparable with other regional aircraft, the high quality interiors means that refurbishment costs are not excessive and the CRJ type is adaptable for a range of specific mission profiles for regional operators,” said Sean Gillespie, vice president Flying Colours.
Flying Colours is able to provide all aspects of aircraft maintenance from interior design, avionics, communications and exterior paint work.
“The capacity to provide the full service in one location is very attractive to potential clients as it can reduce project management time in addition to simplifying the communications and administration involved. We are being contacted by those in the American, Russian, Asian and European markets who understand the value the Corporate Shuttle ExecLiner offers and working with just one completion centre,” Gillespie concluded.
