While California-based ACI Jet has had a maintenance presence at San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (KSBP) since 2008, the grand opening of its new FBO/MRO facility in 2021 was muted by the then-pandemic. But in the half-decade since, the company has seen its repair business expand on average by 9% annually due to its increased space. Over the past year, the maintenance provider handled 174 different tails in its shop. An FAA Part 145 repair station, it also carries repair designations from Transport Canada, Isle of Man, and, as of last year, EASA.
The 35,000-sq-ft hangar can accommodate the latest ultra-long-range business jets, which, for ACI, means the Bombardier Global 8000. The company is a Bombardier factory-authorized service center, as well as a parts depot for the Canadian OEM, and handles the full line of Challengers and Globals.
