Ventura Air Services acquires Alpha AOG
The decision to acquire Alpha was driven by Ventura's long standing partnership with the company, recognising its exceptional capabilities in addressing AOG needs promptly and effectively.
Alpha Aircraft Services has returned thousands aircraft to an airworthy condition over the past three years.

Ventura Air Charters has completed its acquisition of Alpha Aircraft Services, a maintenance company based at Teterboro, New Jersey specialising in servicing AOG aircraft.

"We are thrilled to welcome Alpha Aircraft Services into the Ventura family," says Sam Wolf, president of sister company Ventura Air Services in Farmingdale, New York. "The decision to acquire Alpha Aircraft Services was driven by our commitment to aircraft reliability and the desire to strengthen our retail service offerings."

Alpha Aircraft Services boasts a remarkable track record, having returned thousands aircraft to an airworthy condition over the past three years. Its comprehensive range of services includes scheduled maintenance, unscheduled maintenance, engine and airframe repairs, as well as navigation systems updates and MEL discrepancy resolutions for time-sensitive flights.

The decision to acquire Alpha was driven by Ventura's long standing partnership with the company, recognising its exceptional capabilities in addressing AOG needs promptly and effectively.

There are no planned changes in leadership or management structure as Ventura is committed to integrating Alpha seamlessly into its existing operations.

"We’re excited to be joining forces with Ventura, ensuring that we continue delivering outstanding aircraft maintenance services to both our loyal clients and those coming aboard from Ventura. We anticipate a seamless transition, with no impact to our clients nor to the valued employees of either company. Through this partnership, we are looking to increase our number of technicians and expand our offerings," adds owner Manny Malandrenias.
