Testimonials
“We appreciate the great support and prompt service that you, Mike, and the rest of your team provided!!” – Honeywell International Inc.
“It is clear why CGSE is respected name in the aviation industry. From the initial RFQ, to the final sale, you made customer service a priority. A cabin pressurization unit is a sizable purchase for a growing business like Challenger Aviation Services. You made every effort you could to make it fit our budget. When we finally made the decision it was after normal business hours on a Friday evening. I was surprised when you answered the phone and had already made arrangements. John, you even made the funds transfer easy. We were astonished when we returned from lunch the following Monday to find a brand new shiny box waiting for us in the hangar.” – Challenger Aviation
