Business aircraft MRO Constant Aviation is being folded into sister company Flexjet as the fractional provider’s in-house maintenance department. Flexjet noted that its fleet grew by 40 percent last year, bringing additional demands for maintenance services. Constant Aviation will continue to operate under its own brand name and provide maintenance services for both Flexjet and non-Flexjet-operated aircraft.
While both companies are Directional Aviation subsidiaries, Flexjet is technically acquiring Constant since the MRO arm wasn’t wholly owned by Directional. Under the deal, Flexjet will acquire Constant’s facilities at Ohio’s Cleveland Hopkins International and Florida’s Orlando Sanford International (KSFB) airports, as well as its nationwide AOG mobile response network. Flexjet also plans to build facilities at KSFB, expanding its maintenance footprint there to 220,000 sq ft.
