Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) November 19, 2009
Evergreen Maintenance Center Inc., the largest commercial aircraft storage, paint, and maintenance facility in the world, expands their leadership team and service center capabilities. "We are pleased to announce the addition of Chris Heredia to our executive leadership team," remarks John Keating, President of Evergreen Maintenance Center. "Chris has set a strategic direction in place with our sales and marketing group that will: expand next generation heavy maintenance service, build on executive aircraft capabilities both inside and out, while EMC continues the client focused success of the AOG and field service teams."
In today's environment, experience, delivering quality results, and the ability to meet aggressive schedules continue to drive success in the competitive aircraft leasing and airline industry as a whole. "In addition, being recognized by Boeing as a service facility for the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) aircraft is an important milestone in our strategic direction," adds Chris Heredia, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Evergreen Maintenance Center. "The BBJ fleet will benefit from the VIP Executive aircraft capabilities that our international clients have recognized our facility for in the past and today. As a recent example, we completed a heavy 4C maintenance inspection that included the removal of a $40 million dollar VIP interior, extensive exterior refurbishment, in addition to several entertainment system upgrades. Despite the varied statement of work, our talented operations group met the aggressive schedule and released the aircraft to service according to plan. The results: we now have another satisfied client that has endorsed our work to a global audience - which is the most important compliment we can receive."
