West Star, which specialises in airframes, engines and APUs, avionics, mods, refurbishments, paint, sales and parts, is celebrating as its small Colorado-based team carries out a full range of Global Express work.
Chris Halbert leads a crew of 13.

West Star's Grand Junction, Colorado (GJT) Global Express team has completed its first 240, 180 and 120-month inspections.

The team has quickly grown from one member, Chris Halbert, to a crew of 13, completing 15 different Global Express aircraft projects.

“The continued growth of the Global Express department shows the unique leadership skills and mentorship that Chris provides to his team and West Star,” says Jason Cohen, programme manager, Bombardier and Global Express.
