Tamarack Aerospace has expanded its authorized active winglet service network by adding Toledo Jet Center as a winglet dealer and installation center.&nbsp;According to the manufacturer, the winglets—which can be installed in less than 10 days—offer performance benefits, including fuel burn reduction, improved climb performance, and extended range.
Tamarack has approval for the installation of its active winglets on all eight variants of the Cessna CitationJet/CJ1/M2, CJ2, and CJ3 in the U.S., European Union, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil.
Toledo Jet—founded in 2009 after Textron Aviation closed its Toledo, Ohio service center—recently <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2025-01-24/ohio-based-mro-now-under-new-ownership">changed hands</a>. “We are excited about the partnership with Tamarack Aerospace and the opportunities it brings,” said industry veteran and new CEO Greg Fell. “We believe Toledo Jet Center is well-positioned for significant growth due to the high demand for Tamarack active winglets.”
The MRO provider operates facilities at Toledo Express Airport (KTOL) and in Florida at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE). Toledo Jet specializes in supporting Cessna Citations.
“Tamarack Aerospace Group has made a great move by expanding its dealership network with Toledo Jet,” said Eric Cunningham, Tamarack’s v-p of sales. “These locations ensure CitationJet operators can easily access our factory-trained installation services, enhancing their aircraft performance and safety with every flight.”
