Dallas-based Aero Star Aviation has added the Embraer Praetor 500 and 600 to its maintenance services, adding to its established FAA approvals for the Phenom 100 and 300.

"We are thrilled to be able to offer the expanded services to new and current customers that may be upgrading from the [Phenom] 100/300 to the [Praetor] 500/600 or already a current owner," said Aero Star Aviation owner and president Chris Grinnell. “We have invested heavily in this expansion of these added services with specialized technicians, specific tooling, and additional hangar space to accommodate all of our current and new valued customers.”

Founded in 2013, Aero Star Aviation specializes in the maintenance and repair of Embraer jets at its locations in Dallas and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Its offerings include scheduled maintenance, pre-purchase and 10-year inspections, engine change, line maintenance, wheel assembly exchange, and AOG support. The company also offers in-house aircraft consulting and management, providing customers with information on the acquisition process while providing daily aircraft management of operations and regulatory requirements.
