Banyan Air Service, a fixed base operator and FAA approved repair station, has added the Pilatus PC-24 to its service offerings at its Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport facility, furthering its MRO capabilities. The company, already known for its Pilatus PC-12 support, now provides full maintenance, repair and overhaul services for both Pilatus aircraft models.

In addition to the expansion at Fort Lauderdale, Banyan has also extended its Pilatus PC-12 services to its new MRO facility at St. Augustine Airport. The first PC-12 annual inspection was successfully completed at the north Florida location.

“We are thrilled to expand our Pilatus support and complete our first PC-12 annual inspection at St. Augustine,” says Charlie Amento, VP and director of MRO services at Banyan Air Service. “Adding PC-24 capabilities and expanding our PC-12 services reflects our commitment to providing world-class maintenance solutions and meeting the needs of our growing customer base throughout Florida and beyond.”

The St. Augustine site was launched in January 2024 to meet increased demand for HondaJet MRO services, and the addition of Pilatus support further broadens the company's offerings. Equipped to manage inspections, modifications, avionics upgrades and AOG support, the facility improves response times for AOG situations and boosts capacity for a growing fleet, including 253 HondaJet and Pilatus aircraft in the region.
