FBO operator and maintenance provider Southern Sky Aviation has expanded its AOG service with the addition of a second mobile unit and team that will serve customers from Panama City, Florida, to New Orleans. Randy Radford has been named AOG team leader for the Gulf Coast region.

Southern Sky president Donald Howell noted that many of the company’s customers that use its repair station in Birmingham, Alabama, are based along the Gulf Coast. “These customers are very in-tuned to aviation services in their region, and we believe the Gulf Coast aviation community will support the additional AOG team,” he said. “We have seen strong growth in aircraft ownership all over the Southeast. The additional AOG team will help meet demand in the Gulf Coast area.”

Based at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, Southern Sky operates an FBO in Moss Point, Mississippi, at Trent Lott International Airport, and will open a second FBO at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Panama City late next year. The company also provides charter and aircraft management, as well as aircraft sales.
