The PrimeFlight Aviation Services group of companies has acquired Kansas-based aircraft cleaning and maintenance company Appearance Group.

“This is an exciting acquisition for PrimeFlight as it furthers our mission to be seen as the go-to aircraft appearance services provider within the aviation industry,” explains president Dan Bucaro. “As we work together to combine our general aviation operations, we look forward not only to expanding our footprint to serve our customers in more places but to improving our overall service delivery.”
