Gregory Polek has spent his entire career in aviation journalism with AIN, starting as a proofreader and assistant to then-managing editor Mary Mahoney in 1995 after serving an internship with&nbsp;New Jersey Monthly&nbsp;magazine and completing his B.A. degree in English/Writing at New Jersey’s William Paterson College. By 1997 Polek accepted a position as an associate editor, covering the regional airline beat for&nbsp;Aviation International News&nbsp;in place of retiring industry veteran Don Anderson. The assignment took Polek across North America and Europe to profile regional airlines varying in size and mission from the likes of floatplane operators Kenmore Air and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to regional jet operators such as SkyWest and American Eagle. Today, in his dual role as Air Transport Editor and International Airshow Editor, Polek writes, edits, and manages AIN’s commercial aviation content while overseeing each of the company’s daily international air show publications in Paris, Farnborough, Singapore, and Dubai. Most recently Polek has assumed oversight of daily coverage of the Helicopter Association International’s annual Heli-Expo convention.

Switzerland-based Comlux has just signed a contract to acquire more than 11,000 sq ft of off-airport space at its completion center in Indianapolis.
Comlux Completion CEO Adam White expressed enthusiasm about the company’s growth trajectory. “We are very excited to enter the next stages of our aggressive multi-year growth plan,” he said. “What is key is not only hiring and retaining highly skilled, dedicated employees but also providing them with the space and equipment to execute their trade with the highest precision. This is the latest step on our journey to modernize our infrastructure to continue to provide our customers with the highest level of quality, a true VVIP experience.”
Despite the considerable attention garnered by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2023-10-17/airbus-acj-twotwenty-makes-debut-nbaa-bace">ACJ TwoTwenty</a> cabin completions and its expanding backlog, Comlux stressed that the expansion plan does not exclusively center on any particular program.
“We embarked on a mission to standardize our installation structure and standardize parts over two years ago,” said Comlux Completion COO Bryan Peterson. “The main production efforts in this new facility will start with these critical parts. For BBJ and ACJ completions, maintenance, or upgrades, increasing the ability to manufacture the parts we need will ensure we continue to maintain our schedules and continue to redeliver on time.”
