Banyan Air Service, the full-service FBO and MRO provider at Florida's Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE), has added the Pilatus PC-24 light jet to the service capabilities for its Pilatus Satellite Service Center, located on the grounds of its sprawling facility. The move increases Banyan’s commitment to delivering MRO service to a broader range of customers and aircraft.
In addition, the company expanded service capacity for the PC-12 turboprop single to its recently established maintenance base at Northeast Florida Regional Airport (KSGJ) in St. Augustine. The North Florida facility—initially intended to handle the HondaJet—just successfully concluded its first PC-12 annual inspection and is equipped to provide modifications, avionics upgrades, and AOG support to the region’s hundreds of Honda and Pilatus aircraft.
“We are thrilled to expand our Pilatus support and complete our first PC-12 annual inspection at St. Augustine,” said Charlie Amento, Banyan’s v-p and director of MRO services. “Adding PC-24 capabilities and expanding our PC-12 services reflects our commitment to providing world-class maintenance solutions and meeting the needs of our growing customer base throughout Florida and beyond.”
