West Star Aviation’s Perryville, MO (PCD), facility continues to expand its Hawker maintenance capabilities, building strong momentum as a growing resource for Hawker operators throughout the Midwest and across the West Star Aviation network.
Since July 2024, the Perryville team has completed 44 Hawker maintenance events, including eight 48/96-month inspections covering E, F, and G inspection requirements. This marks significant growth for the PCD facility and reflects West Star’s continued investment in airframe-specific expertise, staffing, and customer support.
Focused Hawker Experience at PCD
West Star Aviation is FAA certified, trained, and experienced on most Hawker models, with capabilities that include airframe, engine, and APU inspections, repairs, modifications, component support, avionics installations, and interior and exterior refurbishment services. West Star’s Perryville facility supports maintenance, modifications, and refurbishment capabilities for a wide range of business aircraft and includes more than 120,000 sq. ft. of hangar and office space, including a 28,000 sq. ft. paint facility with downdraft filtration.
At PCD, Hawker experience is being expanded with a dedicated and growing team. The facility now has 13 dedicated Hawker technicians, which allows maintenance coverage on nights and weekends to better support customer schedules and aircraft downtime requirements.
Leadership and Continued Growth
To support this growth, West Star Aviation has promoted Brett Beier to Hawker team lead at Perryville and is also expected to add a new maintenance lead in the near future. This planned growth further strengthens the ability to support scheduled inspections, maintenance events, and operator needs.
By combining airframe-specific experience with West Star’s broader maintenance, avionics, interior, paint, and modification resources, PCD provides operators with a comprehensive support solution under one trusted MRO network.
Enterprise Hawker Support
While Perryville is rapidly expanding its Hawker capabilities, West Star’s Grand Junction, CO (GJT), location also features established Hawker expertise. West Star has long emphasized the importance of airframe-specific experience, including dedicated Hawker teams at GJT with deep platform knowledge.
Together, Perryville and Grand Junction strengthen West Star Aviation’s ability to support Hawker operators with experience, flexibility, and nationwide reach.
A Growing Resource for Hawker Operators
West Star Aviation’s investment in Hawker capability at Perryville reflects the company’s continued commitment to supporting legacy and active business aircraft platforms with the technical depth operators expect from an industry-leading MRO.
For Hawker maintenance, inspections, modifications, avionics, paint, or interior support, West Star Aviation’s PCD facility is ready to meet operator maintenance and inspection needs now and into the future.
