SureFlight Aircraft Completions opened a second facility in Springville, Utah, specializing in airplane and rotorcraft custom interior and upholstery projects, the Coatesville, Pennsylvania-based company announced.&nbsp;The facility, adjacent to Spanish Fork Municipal Airport (KSPK), doubles the company's aircraft interior completion and refurbishment capacity.&nbsp;
“Our Utah custom interiors shop is the first step in a long-term strategic plan to replicate SureFlight’s Pennsylvania facilities, which also accommodate exterior paint and avionics, on the Spanish Fork airport,” said SureFlight&nbsp;co-founder and president Owen Watkins.
SureFlight completed its first bicoastal refurbishment on a Beechcraft Premier twinjet with full interior, exterior paint, and avionics work. Master upholsterer Dave Thompson relocated to Utah to establish and lead the facility’s operations.
The facility—whose clients include regional repair stations, aircraft suppliers, OEMs, and owner-operators—is working with customers in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming.&nbsp;SureFlight is also participating in community activities, including volunteering to restore a WWII-era A-26 Invader, joining FAA enthusiast groups, and exhibiting at the Spanish Fork Airport airshow.
