Since adding to its authorized service center credentials through Embraer last year, Pro Star Aviation is seeing a robust business, especially servicing the Brazilian airframer’s light jets. “We’ve really hit the market pretty good with the Phenoms,” Pro Star general manager Sean Peterson told AIN. “So it’s been a pretty good start for us.”

The addition of Embraer to the New Hampshire-based MRO provider’s OEM service authorizations—which also includes Pilatus's PC-12 and PC-24—is one of the ways the company is looking to continue its growth. Pro Star is also an avionics and cabin management systems dealer and installer for the likes of Honeywell, Collins Aerospace, and Gogo. Avionics installation is a “big part” of Pro Star’s business, Peterson said, and includes the company’s “On The Fly” service in which it will travel to a customer’s site for avionics installation.
