Aircraft Services Dedication to our clients’ continued success

Inspection

Aircraft Inspections are performed by skilled, Licensed, Type-endorsed, Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AME). These professionals are tasked with assessing and reporting the overall condition of an aircraft’s scope of work in accordance with OEM instructions and Regulatory protocols. All Premier Inspection personnel are qualified to release aircraft for return to service, expediting the re-delivery process. All (RII) and discrepancy corrective action and buy-back are also performed by our Inspectors to ensure regulatory compliance and oversight.

In addition to heavy and line maintenance inspection, Premier offers pre-purchase aircraft evaluation.

Aircraft Maintenance

Highly skilled aircraft technicians perform all aircraft maintenance services, as per the approved instructions and regulatory protocols. Our technicians attend a regulatory-approved three (3) year college Aircraft Technician curriculum and are required to work as apprentices with senior technicians until they have proven their competence; following which they can request permission from Transport Canada or the Federal Aviation Administration to take tests required for their respective AME or A&P certification. This method of training is rigorous and a testament to the dedication of the technicians who have chosen Aircraft Maintenance Engineer as their career.
