Hawker Beechcraft Selects FR Aviation as Authorized Service Center

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) has selected U.K.-based FR Aviation to join their worldwide network of authorized service centers to support its Beechcraft line of aircraft. Based at Bournemouth International Airport,  HBC feels that FHR 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," said Steve Porte, vice president, International Customer Support.  In addition to its engineering capabilities, FR Aviation and its parent company Cobham plc, are providers of military airborne electronic warfare training and special-mission services across the world. In Europe 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, according to the company.
