Transparency specialist PPG Aerospace has extended its warranty on rebuilt windshields for Beechcraft 1900 and King Air aircraft to three years. This warranty applies to PPG-rebuilt windshields purchased on or after June 1, 2016.

 “PPG is pleased to offer operators an extended warranty on these rebuilt windshields as a result of their exceptional reliability that is comparable to the new parts,” said PPG global director of general aviation transparencies Mark Hood. “As the manufacturer of the certified original-equipment windshields for the King Air and spares for both the King Air and 1900 airplanes, PPG rebuilds parts of the latest Beechcraft-approved design configuration. Aircraft operators have lower cost alternatives to buying new spares without compromising performance or quality, and now PPG supports that with an even longer warranty.”

Here at the NBAA show, PPG Aerospace (Booth 1219) will be displaying a rebuilt King Air windshield. Certified by the FAA, PPG supplies rebuilt windshields with Surface Seal hydrophobic coating. The windshields are manufactured and rebuilt at the company’s Huntsville, Alabama factory.
