Dash 8 Q400 - Aircraft Ferry Flight - UK to Canada.

This was an aircraft ferry project undertaken for our client, as US based Lessor. The flight took us from Exeter in the UK, via Wick in Scotland, Iceland and eventually into Canada, following completion of some maintenance work in Exeter. The aircraft was delivered within a strict operational timeframe, while ensuring all regulatory approvals and international planning requirement were satisfied. An aircraft transition requires more than simply moving an aircraft from one location to another. It demands careful planning, technical oversight, regulatory compliance and clear communication between all stakeholders.

At Vanguard Air Services, we support every stage of the aircraft transition process by providing professional services that minimise downtime, reduce operational risk and help keep projects on schedule.
