Skyservice cleared to install ionisation on Bombardiers
Aviation Clean Air's airborne ionisation product takes approximately two to five days to install and costs range based on the number of units needed per size of aircraft. Challengers and Globals are to benefit.

Canada's Skyservice Business Aviation has received STC from Transport Canada for the installation of Aviation Clean Air's purification system inside Bombardier's Challenger 300/350 and Global 5000/5500/6000/6500 aircraft.

ACA's airborne and surface purification solutions improve air quality throughout the aircraft, eliminating pathogens like COVID-19, removing allergens and destroying unpleasant odours without the use of harmful chemicals.

“Taking a team approach, we worked collaboratively with ACA to develop a successful, high-quality, installation design that was approved by Transport Canada,” notes Paul Weeks, VP of maintenance at Skyservice. “Working with Transport Canada and our expertise in Bombardier business aircraft resulted in a successful approval for the product's installation, and ultimately brings one of the best clean air purification and decontamination products into Canada.”

ACA's airborne ionisation product takes approximately two to five days to install and costs range based on the number of units needed per size of aircraft. The components are easy to install and have minimal maintenance requirements, making it popular for aircraft of all sizes.

“We are thrilled to add this STC to install ACA's purification and sanitisation solutions on two of the world's leading aircraft lines,” comments Emlyn David, Skyservice president and CEO. “We are proud to be part of this commitment to innovation, which we believe helps to address the health and safety concerns aircraft owners are voicing when considering to fly.”
