Newly Established FAR-145 Repair Station Next To DFW
Airport
SkyWay Communications Holding Corp. says the FAA has approved
and certified its newly established FAR-145 Repair Station located
adjacent to the DFW Airport in Grapevine (TX). The FAA issued
license number YXWR074Y last month.
This certification allows SkyWay to repair its previously
acquired in-flight entertainment assets from Transdigital
Communications Corporation (TCC), the SkyWay in-flight
entertainment and communications products as well as provide repair
services to major airlines in the area. The TCC product line
consists of approximately 1,000 units in the flying community
today. Units are installed on American Airlines, Northwest
Airlines, and Continental Airlines, as well as SAS and general
aviation customers. Under recent rule changes by the FAA all
manufacturers who desire to repair their products must establish a
Certified Repair Station (CRS) in order to be eligible to repair
its' products. Additional CRS locations are planned as business
opportunities expand. Locations being considered for expansion in
2005 include Clearwater (FL) and Los Angeles (CA).
Based upon the current Continental Airlines purchase order with
an estimated value of $400,000 and repair work available from other
airlines in the area, projected sales from this Certified Repair
Station (CRS) operation are in excess of $750K in revenue.
Additional aviation commodities are being evaluated for repair and
will be added to the repair stations capabilities.
"We are building our communication infrastructure and repair
facilities systematically." said Brent Kovar, President of SkyWay
Communications Holding Corp. "The footprint that we are
establishing will clearly benefit the airlines and keep our costs
to a minimum. This accomplishment is just one more completed
milestone prior to fielding our new line of In-Flight Broadband
Communications (IBC) equipment."
