DAHER-SOCATA announced at Oshkosh the selection of North Carolina-based Atlantic Aero International as its newest Authorized TBM Service Center in North America – further strengthening the U.S. repair, overhaul and support network for the TBM family of very fast turboprop aircraft.
The announcement of Atlantic Aero’s service center selection was made during the Experimental Aircraft Association’s AirVenture 2009 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. With the addition of Atlantic Aero, DAHER-SOCATA has reached its goal of locating authorized service centers within a three-hour flight of the home airport of any U.S. TBM customer.
“Atlantic Aero is a partner of choice for DAHER-SOCATA, providing TBM operators with capabilities that range from avionics, engine, and airframe repair, to engineering support and cabin interior outfitting,” said Nicolas Chabbert, the President of SOCATA North America. “With the growing TBM fleet in North America, Atlantic Aero will reinforce our U.S. network – joining our existing East Coast service centers in Pembroke Pines, Florida to the south and Columbia Air Services, Groton, Connecticut, to the north.” Created in 1971, Atlantic Aero is an FAA Approved Aircraft Maintenance and Repair station that concentrates on high-end, full-service maintenance for business jets and turboprop-powered transports. With a strong presence in the Eastern U.S., the company’s 24-hour coverage is supported by a team of 56 technicians at Greensboro’s Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO). Atlantic Aero’s business portfolio includes its role as the FlexJet fractional ownership program’s primary maintenance partner.
“We’re proud to add the world’s fastest single turboprop to Atlantic Aero’s aircraft maintenance capability list, and look forward to welcoming TBM customers in North Carolina at our Greensboro facility,” said Atlantic Aero President and COO Jim Spinder. “DAHER-SOCATA is an excellent company to work with, and we foresee a strong interest in this business aircraft – which is extremely efficient and affordable. We anticipate a growing activity for the TBM fleet, along with new support opportunities for us.”
