Sabreliner Aviation of Perryville, Mo., will provide certification, installations and service of BendixKing’s new AeroView integrated avionics for the Cessna Citation 550 Bravo and entire 560 series, as well as the King Air C90 series. BendixKing will also make the modification available to the selected AeroVue dealer network.

Sabreliner is “well placed to serve our customers and will complement the AeroVue product with their significant avionics expertise,” said BendixKing president Justin Ryan. Sabreliner is showing a full-scale interactive AeroVue system in a Citation cockpit at NBAA 2015 (Booth C14041). Sabreliner has seen a good deal of customer interest in the AeroVue retrofit, but has not yet signed any customers, according to marketing director David Meske.

The AeroVue suite designed for the Citations includes a flight management system with vertical navigation, digital autopilot, SmartView synthetic vision, a cursor control device, two 12-inch primary flight displays and two 10-inch multifunction displays.

Sabreliner is also introducing a four-year warranty for all aircraft painted at its Flight Support Center in Perryville. “Ensuring our customers’ aircraft are protected longer at no additional cost gives them a piece of mind that can’t be found anywhere else,” said Sabreliner Aviation president Greg Fedele. “This is just one of many changes planned in coming months to re-establish Sabreliner Aviation as a world-class problem-solver and partner.”

The company, long rooted in support of Sabreliner business jets, is expanding its MRO services for business aircraft in the wake of its purchase and reorganization last year. Founded in 1983, two years after the end of production of the airplane to support the Sabreliner military and civilian fleets, Sabreliner Corp. also provided MRO and refurbishment services for aircraft that included the C-12, C-21, and U-28–the U.S. military designations for the King Air, Learjet 35 and PC-12 respectively–and other platforms for the armed forces.

In 2013 Sabreliner Corp. defaulted on loans due to a financial squeeze reportedly exacerbated by reduced government spending mandated by sequestration. In January 2014, Innovative Capital Holdings of Naples, Fla., acquired the assets of Sabreliner Corp. and began the restructuring.

Now Sabreliner has come under the umbrella of Innova Aerospace. Other companies under the Innova Aerospace umbrella include Skyway Aviation Group, Innova Composite Helicopters, Innova Support & Services, Innova RMX Remanufacture, Innova Engineering and Innova Financial Services.

Innova Aerospace CEO Tom Seeber explained that the parent company is privately owned by one individual, who wishes to remain behind the scenes for the time being. Seeber said the company is “well capitalized.”
