Desert Jet Maintenance is urging aircraft operators to schedule maintenance early to avoid disruptions during the upcoming peak travel season. The FAA-certified Part 145 repair station, based at Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport (KTRM) in Thermal, California, is warning that limited availability during high-demand months often leads to maintenance delays and grounded aircraft.

The company recommends several strategies for minimizing downtime: booking maintenance during slower months, completing scheduled inspections early, bundling repairs and upgrades into a single visit, and accounting for longer parts procurement and service lead times during holidays.
