This ERJ 145 gear is almost ready to be reassembled, but not before Ed works his magic with a fresh coat of primer and paint. Next up reassembly and testing.

It's been a beautiful week here at C&L with lots of moving parts, and the weekend is mere minutes away. This afternoon, we had a busy crew working on our Citation teardowns. Here, you can see Dale and Travers as they apply protective window blanks to cover the hole created when the windshield itself was removed. Just feet away, Mike is removing another windshield and David is getting ready to close things up for the weekend. Happy Friday.

We're excited to announce our new venture into modern art. Last week, an art exhibit consisting of a banana taped to a wall sold for $6.2 million at auction. It inspired us to explore the space where art meets aviation. C&L's new exhibit 'The Ignitor' will be on display until a buyer comes forward for this unique piece of contemporary art history. So far, our guests find it appealing.

Need a little more legroom? Converting an ERJ aircraft may be the fastest and most cost-effective way to enter the semi-private jet travel industry. This conversion features fewer seats, a more luxurious experience, and a lot more personal space to stretch out and enjoy the ride.

At C&L, we offer a variety of semi-private seat configurations for ERJ 135, 140 & 145 aircraft during conversion.

About C&L Aviation

We are a global aviation services and aftermarket-support provider for regional and corporate aircraft specializing in quality parts, service, sales, leasing, maintenance, aircraft refurbishment and aircraft re-marketing.

We make aircraft ownership more economical by providing all of our services in one location: our state-of-the-art 140,000 square-foot facility at Bangor International Airport in Maine, where for more than 20 years, aircraft have been coming for maintenance and inspections.

And to make things even more convenient for our customers, we also maintain sales offices and warehouses around the globe.

KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE We hire the hardest working, most knowledgeable people in their field. From our Interior Shop Manager, who has a passion for making customers’ visions a reality, to our exacting Chief Inspector who won’t let an aircraft leave the hangar unless he’d be comfortable putting his family on it, the people who make up C&L Aviation take pride in what they do.
