Company unveils spectacular Bombardier Global 5500 – its first SSTC C-Reg refurbishment project
Fort Lauderdale, October 21, 2025 – VIP Completions, providers of aircraft completions and refurbishment services, today announced that it has earned a maintenance implementation procedures (MIPs) designation and has unveiled a fully refurbished Bombardier Global 5500 – its first Serialized Supplemental Type Certificate (SSTC) Canadian-registered (C-reg) aircraft refurbishment project.

Floor plan details of this specific aircraft include:
Forward galley, lavatory and crew rest area
Forward cabin with four club seats and retractable tables
Mid cabin conference suite with conference/dining table
Rear cabin with divan/bed and en-suite lavatory
Design highlights include:

“We are proud to have earned this coveted designation, which fully opens a new market for us,” says Ben Shirazi, President, VIP Completions. “Working with the FAA and TCCA, we are now able to serve Canadian clients with C-reg aircraft from our headquarters in Fort Lauderdale. There are about 600 business jets operating in Canada, so the opportunities to grow our North American market share are very attractive.”
“The Global 5500 that we have unveiled is our first SSTC project for a Canadian client. This is a 2021aircraft with very low hours. Working closely with our client, we proposed a subtle, modern interior aesthetic – featuring soft colors, clean textures and unique materials. Working with some of the most exclusive designer brands in the world, we have delivered an aircraft interior of unique beauty and opulence – a true reflection of our client’s taste and personal style. While the majority of our clients will certainly remain US-based, we now invite prospective clients with aircraft registered in Canada to contact us at their convenience,” adds Ben Shirazi.
