Jet Aviation Closes Its Last U.S. MRO Location

Jet Aviation has closed its MRO facility at Boston-area Laurence G. Hanscom Field Airport (BED). In a statement released to customers, John Langevin, the company’s vice president for North American FBO operations, said, “We’re proud to have served your aviation needs until now, but it has become clear that market conditions simply do not support continued MRO operations.”

Langevin continued, “We will continue to operate our FBO there through our new FBO building and hangar to deliver all of the flight services you have come to expect from us.” He added that an agreement is in place for sister company Gulfstream to use the BED facility to provide routine and unscheduled maintenance on its aircraft.

This comes on the heels of last month’s announcement that Jet Aviation would be winding down activities at its St. Louis completions and MRO facility in preparation for its being turned over to Gulfstream as a company-owned service center.

The move effectively ends the company’s third-party maintenance operations in the U.S., leaving only its Burbank, California location, an in-house maintenance base dedicated to supporting Jet Aviation’s West Coast-based managed fleet. Jet Aviation's European and Asian MROs remain unchanged.
