Maintenance support and financial services group JSSI is marking 35 years of assisting business aircraft owners and operators. Over the past decade, the Chicago-based group has significantly expanded its horizons with the acquisition of companies such as data specialist Conklin & De Decker and aircraft maintenance tracking software specialist Traxxall.
Complementing its core maintenance programs, JSSI now provides customers with guidance to inform their decisions about acquiring aircraft. The company also leases engines and parts, and just a year ago started offering customized asset-based finance solutions for the business aviation sector.
According to JSSI, it now supports more than 30% of the global business jet fleet with a variety of services. Its Traxxall maintenance tracking system covers more than 4,000 aircraft and has 17,000 users worldwide.
The company entered the European market in 2008, with a regional headquarters at Farnborough Airport in the UK. It now has a presence in France, Spain, Monaco, Luxembourg, Austria, Turkey, Dubai, and South Africa. Over the past 12 months, its hourly cost maintenance programs have seen a 10% uptick in usage.
“Our greatest assets walk through the front door every day,” said JSSI chairman and CEO Neil Book. “We’ve been able to attract extraordinary talent from inside and outside the industry.”
