Last week, Garmin resumed deliveries of its G1000 avionics suite to Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing and other manufacturers. Columbia responded by immediately recalling approximately 75 of the employees it was forced to furlough earlier this month when Garmin suddenly suspended deliveries due to a manufacturing problem. The Company recalled an additional 106 employees this week and will continue to recall furloughed employees as the production line advances.
To celebrate the commencement of production, Columbia today certified its 100th aircraft of 2007.
“Certifying number 100 for the year is a gratifying moment,” said Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing CEO Wan Majid. “Despite the turmoil of certification delays, acts of nature and supply chain disruption, Columbia continues to achieve significant milestones. Granted we’d like to be doing so without as many external challenges, but our team continues to rise to the occasion time and again.” |
