VIP Completions

VIP Completions is a business aircraft completion and refurbishment company based at Fort Lauderdale International Airport (KFLL) in Florida. It describes more than 12 years of work on private aircraft, from full scale refurbishments to interior refreshes. A sister company, SmartJets, gives it insight into the pre-owned aircraft market, and the team can advise owners on which upgrades suit a particular airframe.

Facility

The company works from more than 75,000 square feet of hangar and ramp space at KFLL, with a client experience center and in-house workshop areas. It holds an FAA approved repair station certificate (VIPR841D) and has also received a Transport Canada designation covering maintenance implementation procedures, which extends its work to Canadian registered aircraft.
