Ohio-headquartered Flexjet, the global leader in subscription-based private aviation has announced that it has acquired Constant Aviation, which is also headquartered in Ohio. Constant Aviation is a leading provider of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services and with its acquisition, Flexjet becomes the only private aviation fleet provider which can offer such capabilities, while also providing Flexjet with the largest aviation maintenance support infrastructure in business aviation. As part of the deal, Flexjet will acquire Constant's facilities at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Orlando Sanford (Florida) International Airport.
The Flexjet fleet expanded by 40% in 2022, consequently creating additional demand for MRO services. Flexjet's capabilities will now include complete airframe, engine and avionics maintenance capability, industry-leading paint and interior modification and refurbishment capability, and advanced in-house engineering and avionics installation. It will also offer heavy maintenance, engine and component overhaul, damage repair, composite and sheet metal repairs and non-destructive testing, plus parts support and distribution.
Constant Aviation recently expanded its MRO capabilities beyond its portfolio of business jets and other fixed-wing aircraft to include rotorcraft such as helicopters, drones and other commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Consequently, it will be able to support Flexjet's new private helicopter division, which operates in the U.S. and in Europe.
