Kansas-based Clemens Aviation is expanding its aircraft management and Part 135 business to Oklahoma City, owner Dwayne Clemens told AIN today. The company has secured a hangar at Wiley Post Airport (PWA) and just trained its first Oklahoma City-based flight crew. Its sales will be led by Gary Purdum, a former Raytheon Aircraft colleague of Clemens. “We decided just from the requests of customers and people down there, and the sales guys, to go south,” Clemens explained. “The ultimate goal is...to have our own facility [in Oklahoma City] like we do here.”
