Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems will acquire Mayo Aviation’s MRO operations at Denver Centennial Airport (KAPA) as part of an agreement that will expand Mayo’s aircraft maintenance capabilities for its managed aircraft and charter customers.
“This allows us to better focus on our aircraft owners and charter services while offering a national MRO partnership to our customers, giving them more options, capabilities, and expertise,” said Mayo Aviation president Brent Moldowan. “Stevens offers a robust maintenance provider plan nationwide for our owners, with a proven track record.”
Mayo Aviation serves as the Rocky Mountain West base of the George J. Priester Aviation family of companies. Last year, Stevens acquired the maintenance operations of Hill Private Aviation, Priester’s Southeast base. This latest alliance offers Priester customers more access to MRO capabilities for all aircraft types and gives Mayo customers more benefits such as preferential maintenance scheduling.
With this addition, Stevens now operates four main bases: Greenville, South Carolina; Atlanta; Denver; and Nashville, Tennessee. It also has an extensive mobile maintenance division.
“Stevens’ legacy as a privately owned aviation company aligns with the values of all of our companies,” Moldowan said. “They understand that aviation is a service business and share the same focus on customers. Partnering with such an established, similar-minded company allows Mayo to best serve our owners’ needs and benefit charter clients.”
