Our Fleet

Each aircraft in the London Air Services fleet has been handpicked for exceptional avionics engineering and state-of-the-art safety features.

• Our jets are manufactured by Bombardier, known around the world for the exceptional design and manufacture of innovative aeronautics. Bombardier is an industry leader in avionics safety.
• The Bombardier Learjet 45 XR was the first business aircraft to meet both FAA and EASA approval. EASA approval means the aircraft meets or surpasses the combined requirements of 20 European Community nations.
• Bombardier Challenger jets have been flying for more than 25 years, logging over three million flight hours. The Challenger engine is airliner-proven, with millions of hours of operation.
• Agusta AW139 helicopters are constructed to the highest safety standards. They feature a CAT-A twin engine system that provides uninterrupted power from the second engine in the event of a malfunction in the first.
• Our new Agusta AW139 with known-ice technology is the first of its kind in the world. Capable of flying in virtually any weather condition, including snow, ice and sleet.

Aircraft Maintenance

Well-maintained aircraft are the key to safe, efficient air travel. Our full-time factory-trained maintenance engineers have over 70 years of combined experience. Every two years, they receive additional training at the manufacturers’ facilities to keep their skills current.

Each aircraft is maintained to the highest standards, as approved by Transport Canada. All aircraft are inspected regularly and housed in a heated aircraft hangar. In addition to regular inspections, our Learjet 45 XRs are given a thorough inspection every 300 hours, and the Challengers every 400 hours. All heavy maintenance to our fixed wing aircraft is carried out by a Bombardier-owned Service Centre.

 

London Aviation Centre

Our aircraft are maintained and housed in the new, state-of-the-art hangar of London Aviation Centre. This facility was constructed to the highest standards, with features that optimize aircraft maintenance.

• Fire-resistant fabric partition door creates two multi-functional spaces inside the hangar. This allows for specific environmental control: one aircraft can be acclimatized prior to departure while another is undergoing routine maintenance.
• An overhead crane can lift 2.5 tones of machinery to assist with maintenance procedures
• Advanced, three-point safety system continuously tracks and samples air for smoke, monitors for two distinct flame signatures, and in the event of fire, lays down a foam blanket that will extinguish any electrical, fuel, or mechanical fire.

• No information about the destination of our flights is ever made public or discussed beyond the work zone.
• Our confidentiality policy extends to client names, flight details, privileged information discussed in flight, and any contact information provided including email addresses. We share no information.
