K-C Aviation says that its business-aircraft completion bookings are "at an all time high" and the Dallas-based firm is being forced to turn some refurbishment work away. It is, however, making little progress in its bid to undertake completion work on the Bombardier Global Express.

K-C president John Rahilly says that he still expects his company to be named as a Global Express completion house, even though the Canadian company has so far turned down numerous requests for the technical data package needed to prepare for the work.

The company has already been named as a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) completion centre. Renovations of the hangar to be used for the new BBJ at Dallas Love Field have been completed. The first aircraft is to arrive at K-C in November 1998 and four completion slots have been reserved.
