Scandinavian Avionics has agreed a support partnership with Nighthawk Flight Systems to provide dedicated service and support for Nighthawk's legacy avionics systems across Europe. The arrangement is based at Scandinavian Avionics' headquarters at Billund Airport in Denmark.

Under the agreement, Scandinavian Avionics will carry out in-house repairs and establish a spares pool for AOG exchange and loaner units, giving European operators and dealers of Nighthawk's legacy systems local support, installation guidance and servicing. Scandinavian Avionics will also provide ILS and dealer coordination for operators throughout Europe.

Paul Martin, CEO of Nighthawk Flight Systems, says: “Local support for our customers is a priority, and it becomes even more important as our footprint grows internationally. Operators that have trusted Nighthawk systems for years deserve a service partner that is close by, knows the equipment and can respond quickly. Scandinavian Avionics has built exactly that kind of reputation across Europe, and we are proud to bring that level of reliability to our customers there.”

Michael R. Truelsen, CEO of Scandinavian Avionics, adds: “At The SA Group, we strive to provide fast and efficient service to our customers in the international aviation market, and with almost 50 years of experience in avionics and instruments component maintenance and integrated logistics support, we are confident that this joint investment with our long-term partners Nighthawk will provide a new level of support internationally and confirm our mutual commitment towards operators in Europe and beyond.”
