Premier Aviation announces expanded paint services in New York State
Premier Aviation Ltd. Rome, New York: The successful completion of 15 aircraft paint projects on Boeing, Airbus and Embraer aircraft
emphasises the capabilities at Premier’s Rome facility. The 50,000 sq. ft. paint facility has been in full operation since August 2012

aircraft paint. The facility is state-of-the-art environmentally, fully equipped and able to fulfill paint requirements on any
regional or narrow-body and most large wide-body aircraft. The central location in New York reduces indirect costs related to
ferry flights. Cost saving combined with Premier’s airframe heavy maintenance capabilities and competitive pricing, provides a
great solution for customers.
With facilities in both Canada and the USA, Premier can accommodate any customer’s schedule at short notice. Further, strong
maintenance capabilities in all Premier paint facilities make the paint process a low risk event.
Whether it’s an aircraft heavy overhaul, an aircraft modification program or the fulfillment of aircraft paint requirements;
Premier is in the unique position to handle the aviation community’s needs.
