Meridian Jet Center is now performing additional in-depth work on G IV aircraft.
We have now completed ASC469 Water Line Ribbon Heater Upgrade.
This service change replaces all existing water line ribbon heater installations
above and below the floor with Adel Wiggins heaters. All ribbon heater
installations below the floor will have new insulation installed. The new
insulation and improved ribbon heaters are more durable and provide improved
reliability and resistance to freezing during extended and high altitude flights.
In most cases the galley is removed to gain access to the ribbon heaters.
Meridian Jet Center is also performing G IV Lower Wing Trailing Edge-
Zonal Inspection.
If your Gulfstream will be needing this maintenance or any other inspection
work please contact John Langschultz at 201-288-3880 for a price quote.

PRESS RELEASE
Meridian Air Charter Adds a White Plains Based Bombardier Global 5000 to Fleet of Charter Aircraft
TETERBORO NJ, December 31, 2009 - Meridian Air Charter, a private aviation services company, has recently added a latest model Bombardier Global 5000 to their fleet of charter aircraft. This long-range business aircraft incorporates advanced technologies and uncommon elegance with legendary handling ability. Global 5000 is based White Plains, NY (HPN) and is available for charter. This is the second Global 5000 in Meridian’s fleet of charter aircraft.
“We are thrilled with the addition of a brand new Global 5000, it is certified to the highest standards of superb cutting edge technology and avionics,” said Mike Moore, Director of Aviation Sales.
The Global is an accomplished business jet that offers a productive and elegant atmosphere. Enjoy in-flight satellite phone and onboard WIFI. Relax with the entertainment system that includes a 4 DVD player and European and US Direct TV satellite in the main cabin
The striking exterior of the Global 5000 is a clean white with striping in shades of earthy browns. Beige and tan tones flow throughout the spacious cabin. The seating for 13 is enriched with supple, camel color, plush, leather and are berth-able for rest and relaxation. Exquisite woodwork presents a light golden brown color with a feathered pattern of deep brown toned intricate inlay design. The Global 5000 has two private lavatories both with sinks. The in- flight service staff can accommodate passengers with the most lavish of dining needs in the fully equipped galley including an espresso machine. Travel time may be spent productively with in-flight satellite phone and onboard WIFI internet connection, or relaxingly by lounging in the plush leather to enjoy monitoring the flight with Airshow® or the state-of -the -art direct TV entertainment system.
With the recent addition of a 2008 Global 5000 large cabin jet to its fleet, Meridian has solidified its reputation as the largest and most capable trans-continental and international operator/broker in the New York City area. We are now prepared more than ever to provide Large Cabin Charter Options to Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

In the latest bid to remain the CAA’s preferred vendor in Teterboro, Meridian broke the record by receiving the vote of 204 regular CAA members. In a thank you letter to the CAA members, Betsy Wines, Vice President of Customer Service wrote “I can not express how amazed I was at the huge number of votes we received and how humbled I am by your belief in us. We will continue to work our hardest to earn the privilege of being Teterboro’s CAA vendor. The friends we have made through the CAA is a testament to the wonderful flight departments that are the CAA members.
Recently Meridian Air Charter’s Falcon 2000 was chosen to do a trip to Toronto Canada specifically because to its WiFi capabilities. The client’s choice to take the 2000 was easily made, once they knew it had WiFi.
Falcon 2000 Goes Green
Meridian Air Charter’s Teterboro based Falcon 2000 recently went green with the addition of a set of API winglets. After the first flight with the new winglets Director of Operations Tim Burke remarked “The aircraft practically floated off the runway on takeoff and the climb improvement was quite noticeable. We got to our cruise altitude much quicker using less fuel than before.”
The winglets improve the aerodynamics and efficiency of the wing which in turn improves the fuel economy and climb performance. Although a considerable investment, the payoff in fuel savings is expected within a couple of years. A 7% reduction in fuel burn is expected along with a similar range increase. This will make the already fuel efficient Falcon 2000 even greener. The super mid-size Falcon 2000 has lower fuel burn than many smaller cabin aircraft with a significantly larger cabin. Any traveler sensitive to their carbon footprint will appreciate this aircraft. In addition to being a great coast to coast aircraft, its range and low charter rate makes it a cost effective option for travel to Europe. One quick stop is all it takes.
The installation was performed by Duncan Aviation in Lincoln, Nebraska under the watchful eye of Maintenance Director Robert Santangelo. “You can’t beat Duncan Aviation for their competitive pricing and impeccable workmanship” said Robert. This is the second winglet installation performed by Duncan for Meridian. In 2008, a Hawker 800A in the fleet added the winglets and benefited by a fuel savings of over 6%.
Clients are loving the WiFi! We have sold quite a few air charter trips based on this feature in our Falcon 2000 . AND its free to the passengers!
