C&L Aerospace has expanded its distributorship with Champion Aerospace to include a wider range of turbine engine ignition products, including igniters for regional aircraft engines and auxiliary power units (APUs). The updated agreement took effect on January 1 and broadens C&L’s product offerings across several platforms.

The expansion adds Champion igniters for CF34, PW150, and PW100 engine series, supporting aircraft such as the ATR family, CRJ 200/700/900, Dash 8, Dornier 328, E-Jets (E170/175/190/195), and EMB-120. It also includes igniters for APUs, including the RE220, APS2300, and APS500.

“We are excited to further our partnership with Champion,” said Martin Cooper, senior v-p of sales for C&L Aerospace. “Having these high-quality products available allows us to extend our services to a wider range of airframes, reinforcing our dedication to providing operators with trusted, OEM-backed solutions.”

Champion Aerospace is a major OEM supplier of ignition components for turbine engines used in airline, business aviation, general aviation, space, and military sectors. The company’s ignition systems are known for safety retention features and long-life design capabilities.

By distributing Champion’s ignition systems across additional engine types, C&L continues to expand its support infrastructure for regional and business aircraft operators, including those requiring OEM-backed spares and solutions for turbine engine maintenance.
