Jet Engineering Technical Support (JETS) is set to begin operating as a Hawker 125 maintenance and technical support centre from its 30,000 square foot hangar at Southampton Airport, UK.

Led by md Mike Farge, the company’s first customer is UK-based operator Club328. JETS anticipates that it will receive its EASA 145 license, which will enable it to begin its maintenance contract with Club328’s fleet of Hawkers.

Said Farge: “Club328 will also be a sizeable operator of the 328Jet, flying all over Europe and it is the intention that, in the long term, JETS will become a European Centre of Excellence for the aircraft.” The company is currently in the process of identifying third party customers in Europe.
