StandardAero’s aircraft service center in Van Nuys, California, is marking its 25th anniversary this month. The former <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2023-02-03/standardaero-completes-western-jet-aviation-acquisition">Western Jet Aviation operation</a>, which was founded in 1999 and then acquired by StandardAero last year, specializes in providing maintenance, repair, and overhaul for Gulfstream business jets.
The company marked the occasion on October 8 with an event at its Los Angeles-area facility that included former owner and found Jim Hansen and Van Nuys Airport staff. StandardAero Business Aviation president Tony Brancato thanked employees for their efforts.
The West Coast MRO can also provide support for aircraft operators on the East Coast through its satellite aircraft-on-ground operation at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport in Florida. It offers support for Gulfstream operators through its independent CompleteCare program. The wider StandardAero group also includes facilities at multiple other U.S. locations, as well as in Australia, the UK, France, Canada, South Africa, and Singapore.
“Our success is built on the dedication and hard work of our talented employees, and we couldn’t ask for a better team delivering exceptional service to our customers,” said Katie Higgins, vice president and general manager of StandardAero VNY. “Since the site was acquired by StandardAero, we’ve completed multiple site improvement projects and have added a dedicated structures team, providing operators with a whole new level of capability expertise for major structural work.”
