CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Constant Aviation, LLC, a maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility, has been selected by Embraer to become an Authorized Service Center at their Birmingham (BHM) Facility on the Phenom 100 and 300 airframes.

We have relocated technicians from Cleveland to the Birmingham facility to support the Embraer product lines. This planning and coordination has allowed us to prepare for this Authorization and be able to serve the Phenom market immediately. One goal of the company is to provide consistency with the airframes we service across our network of service centers. This is just one more step towards that goal,” said Kevin Dillon, Vice President Constant Aviation.

Constant is in the final stages of its GoGo Biz^™ Wi-Fi system STC on the Phenom 300, which is a great product addition for in-flight amenities for Phenom customers. The GoGo Biz Wi-Fi system allows passengers to stay connected to the internet while in-flight providing them a better use of the time in flight. “In addition to offering the Wi-Fi upgrade, our interior and avionics department has completed the design and installation of a premier high-end cabin entertainment system including HD monitors, surround sound speakers with subwoofers and cabin controls delivering a complete package to the customer,” continued Dillon.
