Aircraft refurbishments continue to be in high demand, with new paint, cabin refreshes and connectivity solutions just a few of the popular upgrades available for business aircraft. Many times, it’s ideal to combine this work with scheduled maintenance or overhauls, so planning ahead and scheduling refurbishment during maintenance downtime is as important as ever. “There are certain maintenance events with every different make and model [aircraft] that triggers a modification conversation,” notes Duncan Aviation’s Adam Beach, “and that would be for both paint and interior.”
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
Adam Beach, paint and interiors sales representative for Duncan Aviation
Stefan Buschle, director of maintenance for Jet Aviation
Ron Jennings, senior vice president of business development for C&L Aviation Group
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
The National Pause for General Aviation Safety is an industry-wide initiative, supported by NBAA, which encourages pilots and operators to take the time to proactively address complacency, communication breakdowns and other potential issues affecting our industry.
Professional development plays a crucial role in advancing a career in business aviation, but it can be difficult for the industry's young professionals to find the time - and finances - to pursue opportunities for growth. However, there are many paths that can yield a valuable "return on you," that are worth seeking out.
