New maintenance facility in South Florida
will serve the needs of business jet owners and operators
Delta Private Jets announced today that it is expanding its
maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities by opening a
new location at Sheltair Aviation on the grounds of the Ft.
Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).
The new MRO facility in South Florida joins the flagship MRO,
centrally located at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International
Airport, which provides a full list of services including aircraft
inspections, mechanical and structural repair services, avionics
repair and installation, engine change, aircraft conformity, and
advanced troubleshooting. In addition, both locations provide
installation and repair of Gogo Business Aviation’s® inflight
Internet connectivity systems and Garmin ADS-B installation for
aircraft on the Delta Private Jets fleet.
Delta Private Jets’ new facility includes a 15,000-square-foot
hangar and an additional 2,200-square-foot office space on Sheltair
property in Ft. Lauderdale. This Sheltair complex is comprised of
548,000 square feet of hangar, office, and Fixed Base Operation
(FBO) terminal space on the north and west side of Ft.
Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. This new facility, in
the world’s largest business jet market, will support scheduled and
unscheduled maintenance needs with an on-site team servicing
multiple locations in the South Florida area and providing
convenient access for international operators.
“The addition of the South Florida MRO provides us the unique
position of being an operator and a maintenance service provider,
giving us consistent control of our aircraft while offering retail
services for Part 135 and Part 91 operators as well,” said Gary
Hammes, President of Delta Private Jets.
Delta Private Jets is currently servicing aircraft needs in the
South Florida area with a team of trained technicians and will grow
to a full service 24/7 operation later this year.
"We are thrilled for such an established, highly-reputable brand
as Delta Private Jets to have chosen Sheltair FLL for its location
to launch its first MRO in South Florida," said Todd Anderson,
Senior Vice President of Real Estate and Development, Sheltair
Aviation. "It is a true testament to the strength of our market's
thriving aviation industry, and we look forward to supporting the
efforts and the services they will provide to our region.”
