Premier Aircraft has opened a new aircraft sales and maintenance facility at Meacham International Airport (KFTW) in Fort Worth, Texas.
The company opened its hangar doors May 11, 2020, to customers and has since performed aircraft maintenance on five Diamond aircraft during its first few days of operation.
“Premier’s decision to expand in Texas was driven by what we see as strong business opportunities in the state and surrounding region for general aviation sales and aircraft service,” said Premier’s Sales Manager and Texas Director of Business Development Travis Peffer.
Peffer says the company is doing all levels of aircraft services, including inspections, routine maintenance, and aircraft modification and upgrade work.
In addition to serving as an exclusive Diamond aircraft dealer and maintenance facility, Premier will also sell and service other leading brands of piston and turboprop aircraft from the KFTW location, he added.
“We are actively focusing our efforts on expanding and improving our service center and support network across the United States,” said Scott McFadzean, CEO of Diamond Aircraft Industries. “Premier’s new location in Texas is ideally located to support Diamond Aircraft’s growing customer base in the Southern United States and is a key addition to our service network as we continue to improve service and support for Diamond Aircraft across the country.”
Premier’s new facility has 7,500 square feet of hangar space and 3,500 square feet of office and support space.
In the coming months, Premier is adding sales and maintenance staff at the location to support the expansion, company officials said. To help prepare customers for the summer flying months, Premier is offering new customers discounted oil change and annual inspection services, officials added.
