MRO Thornton Aviation provides around-the-clock AOG response that has kept Sea Aviation’s organ-transplant fleet airborne through situations where a grounded aircraft could mean a missed transplant window.

The Part 145 repair station at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) in Southern California provides maintenance for Sea Aviation’s Hawker 800XP fleet. These midsize twinjets are used to transport organs, physicians, and medical teams for transplant missions across the U.S.
