Jet Works Air Center of Denton, Texas has won a “multi-million-dollar  contract” for re-configuration of an MD-87 to an executive role.  The MD-87 will be outfitted for 24 ­passengers and will include “a  leading-edge entertainment system [and] Wi-Fi, high-speed Internet  access and air-to-ground communications.”  Jet Works delivered a Boeing 737 and three BBJs last year, all of them  cabin ­refurbishment jobs and one a major project. All four were for  Middle East customers, as is the MD-87 now in the works.  The growing Middle East market for single-aisle and widebody bizliner  outfitting was one of the reasons Jet Works and sister company and  broker/dealer Business Air International made a first appearance at the  MEBA 2010 aviation trade show last month in Dubai.  Jet Works operates out of some 100,000 square feet of hangar space at  Denton Municipal Airport, not far from D/FW International. In addition  to completion and refurbishment work, the center also handles heavy  maintenance and modification and avionics upgrades, as well as exterior  paint for business jets as large as a G550.
