Yingling Aviation, a full-service provider of MRO and FBO services at Dwight D Eisenhower National airport in Kansas, has acquired aircraft maintenance provider Bevan Aviation.

Founded in 1954 and also based at the airport, Bevan offers services ranging from avionics repair and installation to aircraft inspection and maintenance. Bevan's capabilities span both the latest technologies in the avionics industry, as well as earlier generations of communications systems, auto pilots, navigation units, GPS units and transponders.

“We are excited to welcome the Bevan team to Yingling and look forward to leveraging their decades of avionics expertise to continue to add value for our growing customer base,” says CEO Bob Rasberry. “Bringing Bevan into the Yingling family will deliver additional capacity and technical capabilities enabling us to continue meeting the rising demand for maintenance and refurbishment of aircraft.”

“The team at Bevan is excited about the future and looks forward to joining forces with Yingling. With our combined expertise, we can continue to focus on delivering quality avionics retrofits, aircraft maintenance and bench repairs while providing additional capabilities for our valued customers,” adds Jacob Kinsey, vice president and sales manager. “Our shared commitment to team-driven collaboration, common heritage in Wichita and focus on delivering excellence only help solidify a bright future of growth together.”

“The addition of Bevan underscores our commitment to building a best-in-class platform in aircraft repair and maintenance that is strategically located and positioned to deliver a service standard of excellence to the business aviation market,” notes Jon Nemo, managing partner at AE Industrial Partners, the majority investor in Yingling. “This acquisition adds depth to Yingling's avionics service capabilities, strengthens capacity in Wichita and positions the company for continued growth.”
