Facility Courts Honda, Eclipse For Service Centers
Aero-News has learned Platinum Jet
Center BMI has opened its full-service, 34,000 square foot aviation
and business center at the Bloomington-Normal Central Illinois
Regional Airport. Platinum offers complete charter services,
aviation consultation, leasing, and sales, as well as comprehensive
maintenance and fueling services.
As the trend with regional aircraft manufacturers moves toward
larger and taller aircraft, Platinum offers new capability and
service levels to both existing and new aircraft manufacturers.
Platinum’s new facility features a 44-foot hangar door --
large enough to accommodate a BBJ, or any member of the Boeing 737
family.
"Platinum Jet Center represents service innovation and a fresh
opportunity for aviation customers large and small," said Platinum
CEO Lincoln Francis. "We open our doors to existing manufacturers
and look forward to working with those like Eclipse and Honda who
seek new service center relationships."
Francis is a pilot and CEO of Executive Flight Management/Trans
American Charter LTD, a Chicago-based aircraft management, charter,
maintenance, sales and consulting company with over 20 years of
success.
Francis tells ANN he was driven to develop Platinum Jet Center
based on customer demand, his personal passion for aviation, and
his desire to contribute to the aviation community.
"Platinum Jet Center allows clients to bypass larger airports,
avoid delays, and save time while offering commuters multiple
airline connections home," said Francis.
