Aero Star Aviation, an FAA-approved repair and maintenance provider based at Dallas Love Field (KDAL), is moving its facilities into two larger hangars at the airport to accommodate the growing demand for its services, the company announced on October 9.
The company offers maintenance services for Embraer’s Phenom 100 and 300 models, as well as the Praetor 500 and 600 models, at its locations in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Dallas. In expanding the Dallas facilities, Aero Star says it will add its own technical training space, “luxury areas” for clients, and additional space for special projects.
“This expansion signifies our continued commitment to enhance operational efficacy while accommodating the growing demand for exceptional Embraer maintenance,” said Aero Star president and owner Chris Grinnell.
According to Aero Star, the larger of the two new hangars covers 44,000 sq ft, with 30,000 sq ft of hangar space and 14,000 sq ft of office space. The second hangar has 32,000 sq ft total, with 22,000 sq ft of hangar space and 10,000 sq ft of office space. Its current facilities at the airport cover about 16,000 sq ft.
Aero Star Aviation’s offerings include scheduled maintenance, pre-purchase and 10-year inspections, engine changes, line maintenance, wheel assembly exchanges, and aircraft-on-ground support. It also offers in-house aircraft consulting and management services.
