Airflite is based in Western Australia at two primary\nfacilities: Perth International Airport (YPPH) and Jandakot Airport (YPJT),\nwith a maintenance hangar located in the southeast Australian state of Victoria\nat Moorabbin Airport (YMMB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company brings an extensive range of support services\nfor TBM and Kodiak, ranging from work on structural repairs, avionics,\nbatteries, propellers, painting, and non-destructive testing. Its mobile repair\nteam is available for deployment across Australia to support Daher-built\naircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airflite also is Daher\u2019s in-country aircraft sales\nrepresentative for both the TBM and Kodiak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In qualifying as a TBM authorized service center, the\nAirflite staff successfully completed Daher\u2019s training courses \u2013 including\ntwo-week mechanic training performed on-site by a Daher instructor, along with\nthe presence of a representative to implement such Daher processes as the TBM\nTotal Care Program and warranty coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been extremely impressed with the scope and depth of\nAirflite\u2019s capabilities and its capacity, which is backed by rigorous internal\ntraining and a philosophy that mirrors Daher\u2019s strategy of empowering employees\nin advancing the culture of safety,\u201d explained Raphael Maitre, the Vice\nPresident of Customer Support at Daher’s Aircraft Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristian Constantinides, Airflite\u2019s General Manager, said:\n\u201cOur appointment by Daher as a TBM and Kodiak service center is a recognition\nof our level of expertise and commitment to maintaining and servicing these\naircraft. It is a testament to the trust Daher places in Airflite’s\ncapabilities. This designation not only enhances our reputation, but also\nreinforces our position in the aviation industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe strongly believe in the potential of both aircraft in\nour region,\u201d Constantinides added. \u201cFor the vast landscapes of Australia, with\nmany remote and challenging areas, the versatility and rugged design of the\nKodiak is particularly appealing. The high performance and efficiency of the\nTBM series is advantageous for covering longer distances efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Daher\u2019s overall Network presence in Australia, Air Gold\nCoast \u2013 which is based in Coolangatta, Queensland \u2013 continues as an authorized\nTBM Service Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
