Mx Provider Altus Aerospace Hopes To Score at U.S. Open

With professional golf’s U.S. Open Championship slated to start later this month at the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton on New York’s Long Island, private aircraft traffic into nearby Francis S. Gabreski Airport (KFOK) is expected to rise. To support that tempo of operations, Altus Aerospace will be providing dedicated on-field maintenance support throughout the four days of the tournament, which begins on June 18.

Based at nearby Long Island MacArthur Airport (KISP), Altus—an FAA Part 145-certified repair station as well as an Embraer authorized service center—offers scheduled maintenance support and service coordination for customers throughout the metro New York area, including engine overhaul and repair and avionics services. The company will position one of its mobile service vans and crew at KFOK and will provide AOG support, diagnostic troubleshooting, and line maintenance from factory-trained technicians.

“The U.S. Open brings a substantial increase in business aviation activity to the region,” said Dan Swerdlow, Altus Aerospace’s business development manager. “Our goal is to provide operators with immediate, reliable maintenance support to help keep aircraft moving safely and efficiently during a high-demand operating period.”
