Innotech Aviation (Booth Y122) celebrated its 60th year in the corporate aircraft business here at the EBACE show. Founded in 1955 as Timmins Aviation, Montreal-based Innotech expanded with the industry, serving early business aircraft models such as the Gulfstream GI and GII, Convair, Jetstar and Hawker Siddley HS-125.

In 1979, the company became the first completion center in Canada for the Challenger 600 and 601, finishing more than 150 of the large-cabin jets. A year later it became an authorized service facility (ASF) for the type.

With the advent of the Bombardier Global Express in the 1990s, Innotech was designated as an ASF for the model and in 2005 was named a Bombardier-preferred completion center, performing more than 40 Global completions to date.

Today, the company supports the worldwide Global and Challenger fleets with its specialized maintenance, external paint, custom cabinetry, upholstery, carbon structural repair and engineering capability. o
