London Air Services celebrated its tenth anniversary with the grand opening of its 84,000 sq. ft. London Aviation Centre in YVR’s South Terminal on Thursday, March 26.
Complementing the existing Esso Avitat building and hangar, LAS’s new state-of-the-art 60,000 sq. ft. heated hangarage is one of British Columbia’s largest free-span buildings. Notable features include a sophisticated camera and aircraft protection system, an advanced three-point safety system to monitor and extinguish smoke and fire, a fire-resistant partition that creates two multi-functional spaces, and an overhead crane to assist with maintenance procedures. The new Aviation Centre also includes 24,000 sq. ft. of meeting space for LAS pilots and crew.
“YVR’s South Terminal is expanding rapidly, and London Air Services is well-positioned to participate in the growth,” said Wynne Powell, president of London Air Services. “Celebrating our tenth anniversary with the grand opening of the London Aviation Centre supports our expansion plan, which includes increasing our fleet and crew members and servicing new destinations.
London Air Services continues to lead the aviation industry in safety and aircraft maintenance, employing a crew of full-time factory-trained engineers with a combined 70 years of experience. In addition to meeting Canadian and U.S. regulations, LAS voluntarily participates in independent audits to uphold higher IS-BAO safety standards. LAS also prioritizes service excellence, consistently providing a five-star travel experience for corporate and leisure clients, government agencies and emergency operations.
