Stevens Readies AOG Teams for College Bowl Games

With the college football bowl season just around the corner, Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems will increase its AOG capabilities to support business jet owners and operators planning to attend major bowl games in the next couple of weeks, beginning with the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl on December 28 in Atlanta, the Greenville, South Carolina-based MRO provider announced. Stevens will relocate some of its more than 45 technicians and 17 mobile units to cities that are hosting the games.

“These upcoming events give our customers the added confidence that we’ll be easily accessible for planned and unplanned maintenance events,” Stevens AOG services v-p Randy Smith said. Stevens operates permanent AOG locations in a dozen U.S. markets that form a crescent stretching from the Atlantic Coast to Colorado.

Other college bowl games the company will support include the Capital One Orange Bowl on December 30 in Miami; Outback Bowl on January 1 in Tampa, Florida; TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on January 2 in Jacksonville, Florida; and the National Championship game on January 13 in New Orleans. 

It also plans to deploy mobile AOG teams for other, major sporting events in 2020, including the Super Bowl on February 2 in Miami; the Masters on April 9-12 in Augusta, Georgia; the Kentucky Derby on May 2 in Louisville, Kentucky; and the Charlotte Coca-Cola 600 on May 23-25 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
