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.
“To avoid downtime when aircraft availability is critical, operators should complete planned maintenance now,” said Valente Camarillo, general manager at Desert Jet Maintenance. “A proactive approach ensures aircraft are ready for immediate dispatch when travel ramps back up.”
To encourage early action, Desert Jet Maintenance is currently offering a labor discount on scheduled maintenance at its KTRM facility. Additional incentives include complimentary hangar space at Desert Jet Center FBO and courtesy aircraft detailing prior to return to service. Desert Jet provides scheduled and unscheduled repair services, AOG support, and a range of services for business and general aviation aircraft in Southern California.
