Texas-based Baker Aviation has joined the global network of authorised dealers for Raisbeck Engineering, and its performance enhancement systems for business and commercial aircraft. The company was established in 2008 exclusively as a private jet services company to provide a broad scope of customised aviation services, and has diversified its maintenance platforms and product offerings over the years and today serves as a full-service aircraft maintenance, management and charter company.

“As our King Air business continues to grow here in Fort Worth, we believe this new dealership is the right direction for our company,” says president Stan Baker III. “We look forward to offering more performance enhancing options to our King Air clients and I am confident that this is the beginning of a long and productive relationship with Raisbeck.”

Baker Aviation Maintenance president and chief operating officer Ray Goyco Jr adds: “Raisbeck has always been on the cutting edge of King Air performance systems and we are excited about this new dealership. I have great respect and admiration for Bill Cadow, director of sales for Raisbeck, as we have worked together on many projects and it has always been a positive and mutually rewarding experience.”

Baker Aviation's immediate plans include centralising and expanding operations with the development of two new state-of-the-art hangars, currently under construction, to house its FAA Part 145 repair station and Part 135 charter and aircraft maintenance business.

“We are thrilled Baker Aviation has joined our worldwide team of authorised dealers,” says Raisbeck Engineering president Lynn Thomas. “Appointing such a highly experienced maintenance facility helps us continue to support our valued customers in providing performance enhancement solutions for the King Air family.”

ARG/US Platinum-Rated and IS-BAO registered, it is headquartered at Meacham International airport in Fort Worth, from where it also provides FAA Part 145 maintenance services with expertise in airframe maintenance for Hawker, King Air, Beechcraft, Citation, Learjet, Falcon, Challenger and Gulfstream aircraft.
