Gregory Polek has spent his entire career in aviation journalism with AIN, starting as a proofreader and assistant to then-managing editor Mary Mahoney in 1995 after serving an internship with&nbsp;New Jersey Monthly&nbsp;magazine and completing his B.A. degree in English/Writing at New Jersey’s William Paterson College. By 1997 Polek accepted a position as an associate editor, covering the regional airline beat for&nbsp;Aviation International News&nbsp;in place of retiring industry veteran Don Anderson. The assignment took Polek across North America and Europe to profile regional airlines varying in size and mission from the likes of floatplane operators Kenmore Air and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to regional jet operators such as SkyWest and American Eagle. Today, in his dual role as Air Transport Editor and International Airshow Editor, Polek writes, edits, and manages AIN’s commercial aviation content while overseeing each of the company’s daily international air show publications in Paris, Farnborough, Singapore, and Dubai. Most recently Polek has assumed oversight of daily coverage of the Helicopter Association International’s annual Heli-Expo convention.

AvCraft Support Services and Colombia’s Indaer Industrial Aeronautica last month announced the formation of a joint venture to provide heavy maintenance on ATR 42s and 72s at AvCraft’s Myrtle Beach, S.C. facilities. 
 AvCraft, a heavy maintenance provider for the Dornier 328Jet and 328 turboprop and a former type certificate holder for 328 manufacture in Germany, began working with Indaer earlier this year, when the Medellin, Colombia-based company began supporting AvCraft with training and equipment for ATR maintenance. Indaer has engaged in maintenance planning, engineering and MRO services for ATR operators for seven years. Its customers span five continents. 
 The contract calls on AvCraft to contribute its heavy maintenance expertise while Indaer provides engineering and program management support. Almost 200 ATRs fly for 31 operators throughout the Americas.&nbsp;
