Canadian Frax Operator Chooses Rockwell Collins CASP

Canadian fractional-share provider AirSprint has joined Rockwell Collins's Corporate Aircraft Service Program (CASP) for a three-year deal to manage the maintenance on six of the Cessna CJ2+ light jets in its fleet. According to Rockwell Collins, CASP currently covers more than 2,500 aircraft, supported by a global network of more than 80 locations that service avionics, cabin, electromechanical and pilot controls equipment. With a 90 percent contract renewal rate, the program maximizes aircraft availability through its 24/7 customer support and provides clients with fixed, predictable maintenance costs, says Rockwell Collins.

“AirSprint is confident utilizing CASP will enable us to efficiently manage the needs of our fractional owners and our fleet by reducing downtime and managing costs,” said James Elian, president of Calgary, Alberta-based AirSprint. In addition to the CJ2+, the privately held company which launched in 2000, also flies the CJ3+ and the Embraer Legacy 450.
