West Star Aviation Acquires Bizav MRO Provider DCJet

West Star Aviation is expanding its AOG support capabilities with the purchase of DCJet, a business aviation maintenance provider with five U.S. locations that specializes in field maintenance and AOG services.

The acquisition adds to West Star’s own AOG capabilities, which include more than 200 aircraft maintenance technicians; its total now exceeds 250 employees with the addition. DCJet is headquartered at Washington Dulles International Airport (KIAD). Its other locations are at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW); Orlando International Airport (KMCO); Seattle Boeing Field (KBFI); and Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (TJSJ) in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

West Star plans “a thoughtful, measured integration approach, with an emphasis on maintaining continuity of service and preserving the people-focused culture that made DCJet a strong fit,” according to the company. “In the near term, the priority remains unchanged: deliver reliable, high-quality support and get customers back in the air as quickly as possible.”

“This is an exciting step for our team and our customers,” said Joe Ortiz, president and founder of DCJet. “By joining West Star Aviation, we gain additional scale and resources while staying focused on what has always defined DCJet: taking care of the customer, working as a team, and delivering solutions where and when they are needed most.”
