JSSI Adds Mx Tracking with SierraTrax Acquisition

Jet Support Services (JSSI) is making a “strategic” move into maintenance tracking with the acquisition of SierraTrax, the Chicago-based provider of maintenance support and financial services to the business aviation industry announced today. As a result of the acquisition, Wichita-based SierraTrax will expand its service to include super-midsize and large-cabin aircraft.

Founded in 2017, SierraTrax supports independent operators of turboprop and light and midsize jets, as well as fleets of 15 or fewer aircraft. SierraTrax’s software platform is used extensively by Cessna, Beechcraft, and Hawker operators and it is a Textron Aviation-recommended provider for maintenance tracking.

“The SierraTrax team has done an incredible job establishing a leadership position in a crowded maintenance tracking space in just five short years," said JSSI chairman and CEO Neil Book. “Their remarkable rate of growth has been fueled by great technology, an easy-to-use interface, and a commitment to customer service, innovation, and data transparency.”

SierraTrax’s maintenance tracking capabilities will be leveraged by JSSI’s more than 30 years of operating cost data and business jet support services that include JSSI’s hourly cost maintenance programs; parts, APU, and engine leasing business; and JSSI Advisory Services and Conklin & de Decker. JSSI’s hourly cost maintenance programs support more than 10 percent of the global business jet fleet and the company oversees more than 10,000 maintenance events annually.
