AVRO SALE

Inflite Engineering Services has purchased a BAE Systems Avro Business Jet and has teamed with UK design firm Linley to offer customised interiors for ABJs. UK-based Inflite, which has converted several Avros from commercial aircraft to business jets in recent years, has purchased a 146-100 and will speculatively convert the aircraft for onward sale. BAE says the aircraft is being delivered immediately.
