Elevate Aviation Group Rebrands Keystone MRO as Elevate MRO

Elevate Aviation Group (EAG) has changed the name of its Salt Lake City-based Keystone MRO division to Elevate MRO as the parent company looks to expand the maintenance side of its business to the East Coast.

Elevate acquired Keystone Aviation from TAC Air early last year. Along with Keystone's charter and management business, the acquisition gave Elevate a foothold in the MRO market, adding operations in Salt Lake City and Scottsdale, Arizona. Company officials said the move allowed Elevate to provide more certainty to its managed clients and open avenues for new business.

“Our MRO professionals have delivered decades of high-quality support, with expertise on over 40 unique aircraft types from 11 different manufacturers,” said EAG president Randy McKinney. “We pride ourselves on a diverse range of client support. This includes 24/7 AOG and parts support to any location, service center status with key partners, and exceptional care for our managed, program, and transient clients."

Upon the acquisition in January 2022, Elevate's managed fleet ranked as the 15th largest in the U.S., consisting of an array of aircraft types ranging from Embraer Phenom light jets to large cabin models.
