The agreement covers the sale and distribution of aircraft smoke hoods.

BANGOR, Maine – C&L Aerospace, a C&L Aviation Group Company, has signed an agreement with Essex Industries to serve as a distributor for their smoke hoods, designed to go on all aircraft types. This new offering provides C&L customers with a smoke-hood option that is light weight, versatile, and runs on compressed oxygen which is easier to transport.

The FAA and EASA-approved Essex smoke hoods have a 10.5-year shelf life and come with an end-of-service indicator light in every unit. They can be shipped overnight air freight and contain oxygen cylinders as opposed to chemical oxygen generators. The Essex smoke hoods come with multiple stowage options making them practical for all aircraft types.

“We continue to add value for our customers by securing distributorships such as this one that provide our operators many cost-saving options for their aircraft maintenance requirements,” said Martin Cooper, Senior VP of Sales for C&L Aerospace.

In the last year, C&L has brought many new product lines to its customers with distributorship agreements with CSI, Garmin, Champion, Securaplane SLA Batteries, and others.
