Big Red Kite.

Unfortunately Big Red Kite has temporarily suspended Hour Building contracts, this is as a result of the tragic death of one of the directors ( a 50% equity holder ) following a long battle with cancer and the legal process known in the UK as Probate.

Big Red Kite has always insisted on a proper level of customer support in both flying operations and maintenance, this Big Red Kite was unable to give to hours builders over the last year especially as the company decided to implement the Cessna Supplemental inspection Directive (SID's program) full, this program is being studiously ignored by most of the Cessna operators in the UK.

It is intended that Big Red Kite will re-enter the hours building market as soon as it is properly able to support the product with high quality aircraft and customer operational support, meanwhile the company is continuing with leasing aircraft to flying clubs.
