MRO Profile: Desert Jet Maintenance
Former aircraft operator turns fully to MRO services
Desert Jet Hangar with aircraft
Desert Jet’s 23,000-sq-ft climate-controlled hangar at California’s Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport can accommodate aircraft up to the latest ultra-long-range business jets, but the MRO’s sweet spot is in the small- to midsize-jet range.

Desert Jet has been an evolving company since its founding in 2006 as an aircraft management and acquisition business in Palm Springs, California.

In 2009, it entered the aircraft charter arena, with its Part 135 charter certificate offering Cessna Citations, Bombardier Challengers, Beechcraft King Airs, and even a Gulfstream or two. But with those aircraft came maintenance needs, and in an effort to gain better control over the scheduling and availability of its fleet, the company in 2013 launched Desert Jet Maintenance (DJM), its FAA Part 145-certificated repair station.
