Talon Air, Inc., a global leader in aircraft management and luxury private air charter, expands its services after receiving FAA certification of its FAR Part 145 Repair Station DBA Talon Air Maintenance Services, LLC., CRS #1TLR581B. The repair station offers Talon’s previously in-house maintenance services to the public. The new facility will focus on repairs, inspections and avionics installations for all classes of private aircraft.

“Following the issuance of the repair station certification our licensed A&P mechanics dived into a 72 month Gulfstream IV inspection”, said Jason Figarsky Director of Maintenance. “There is no time like the present…”

Talon Air, Inc. recently completed the construction of their state of the art 95,000 square foot hangar and office complex and has converted its existing 40,000 square foot hangar into a 30,000 sq ft maintenance facility with 10,000 square feet of maintenance shops and office space. Additionally, a battery shop will be available to repair, replace or charge main and emergency batteries on Hawker Beechcraft products and other aircraft.

“Despite the economic downturn, it needed to be the right time for the company to expand the business” said Jason Sanders, Senior Vice President. “We have continued to grow steadily and the repair station is the logical next step to support that growth.”
