Avionics provider Spirit Aeronautics has expanded to Fort Worth Meacham International Airport in Texas by co-locating in MRO provider Baker Aviation’s new 70,000-sq-ft hangar. From that location, Columbus, Ohio-based Spirit Aeronautics will provide avionics installation and complex modifications in partnership with Baker’s repair station services. Spirit Aeronautics serves the business aviation, special missions, and military markets.

“We saw an increasing need to provide high-level avionics services in the Dallas/Fort Worth area,” said Spirit Aeronautics CEO Rick Ochs. “Baker Aviation has designed modern facilities with the capability for our team to continue providing the same level of avionics services and support as we've done for more than 20 years at our [Ohio] location.”

Baker Aviation president Stan Baker said his team has high regard for Spirit Aeronautics and its capabilities that “perfectly align with” his company’s growing aircraft maintenance, management, and charter operations.
