DAS and Flite pool resources in Texas
VP of sales at Dallas Aeronautics Services Mike Ward believes that utilising combined floor space and sharing talents will bring DAS and Flite Components into a strong position to enhance turnaround times.

West Star Aviation-owned companies Dallas Aeronautical Services (DAS) and Flite Components (Flite) are now working in conjunction as sister companies, supporting a wide range of composite and aerostructure repairs.

The joint efforts and capabilities shared between DAS and Flite will provide a stronger foundation of services available to all commercial, regional and corporate aircraft customers. This will also allow both companies to build on their reputations within their specialised aviation markets. Both DAS and Flite provide a wide spectrum of composite and aerostructure repair capabilities and are centrally located in the Dallas, Texas area.

“Having this great advantage of utilising combined floor space and the sharing of talents will bring our companies into a very strong position to enhance turn times,” says Mike Ward, VP of sales at DAS. “This will also be very beneficial to our customer base and allow us to streamline AOG events. Together DAS and Flite will be your one stop shop for all your composite and aerostructure repairs.”

Dallas Aeronautical Services and Flite Components are affiliates of West Star Aviation. Their combined capabilities as sister companies provide a full spectrum of composite and aerostructure repairs covering radomes, thrust reversers, flight control surfaces, cowling doors, sheet metal repair and more for commercial, regional and corporate aircraft owners. Both FAA and EASA approved Part 145 repair station locations are in Dallas.
