328 Support Services (Static Park Pavilion 10) announced at the show that it has been awarded US Federal Aviation Administration repair station status for the Dornier 328Jet and turboprop in recognition of its VIP conversion work, hitherto focused in Europe.
It is a significant milestone for the company as it works to complete its first VIP jet destined for US customer Aviando Services.
Dave Jackson, 328 Support Services chief executive, said: "This extension to our approval will enable 328 Support to expand into the US market and offer VIP conversions on the type. It is a significant development for our three-year-old company."
The 12-seat VIP conversion for Miami's Aviando is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2010.
328 is at the show with its Middle East distributor, Action Aviation. It is showcasing a 328Jet from DC Aviation of Germany that has been operating charter flights for nearly a year.
Visitors to the pavilion can also see a new virtual walk-through video of its latest VIP layout development from interiors partner, UK-based CTM Design. "This highlights the special features and attention to detail that makes the latest 328 VIP configurations so distinctive," says head of sales Ray Mosses.
