Georgetown, South Carolina-based Part 135 operator Sherpa Air has set its sights on expanding into the business aviation maintenance and aircraft management markets following November’s opening of a 30,000-sq-ft hangar at Georgetown County Airport. Primarily involved in supporting Department of Defense special missions since its establishment in 2021, the company relocated to its new East Coast headquarters from Myrtle Beach, where it launched Part 135 operations in September last year with a de Havilland Dash 8-300 it acquired and modified for special mission support to the DoD and other government partners.

Now in the process of submitting its Part 145 application with the FAA, the company has already begun work with “multiple partners” to execute its first maintenance contracts, the first of which it expects to sign this quarter.
