King Aerospace hails record number of client Boeings
Boeing business is booming for completions and MRO specialist King Aerospace. Indeed its 25th anniversary year is turning out to be a record-breaker all round.
King Aerospace president Jarid King and his father, chairman and founder Jerry King-Echevarria are seeing more Boeing business than ever in the company's 25th year.

In its 25 years in business, US-headquartered King Aerospace CEO and founder Jerry King says he has never seen anything like the recent influx of work at the company's facility in Ardmore, Oklahoma. The company now has seven next-generation Boeing aircraft in various stages of work scopes ranging from routine maintenance, paint and avionics to interior modifications. The aircraft include five BBJs, a Boeing 737 and a Boeing 757.

“It's great to have this many Boeing aircraft at the same time, and to have satisfied customers who have shared with me that they feel at home,” says president Jarid King. “This is a milestone for us.”

King Aerospace Commercial Corporation is a family-owned company with a home office in Dallas. This year it celebrates its 25th anniversary and record growth, with earnings 30 per cent above fiscal year 2017.
