Banyan Air Service is continuing to expand its MRO satellite facility at Northeast Florida Regional airport in St. Augustine, Florida. In addition to supporting HondaJet and Pilatus PC-12 aircraft, the SGJ facility is now open for King Air 90 and 200 maintenance and service.

Banyan's satellite location in St. Augustine is fully capable of supporting King Air 90 and 200 models, PC-12 and HondaJet operators with line maintenance, scheduled inspections and heavy maintenance services, complementing Banyan's flagship Fort Lauderdale Executive airport MRO operation.

This expansion is a direct response to increased demand for Banyan's turboprop and light jet maintenance services and reflects the company's commitment to providing convenient, high-quality support across the state of Florida. The SGJ facility enhances Banyan's ability to offer faster response times, increased maintenance capacity and improved geographic coverage for owners and operators.

“We're excited to continue growing our maintenance capabilities in St. Augustine and to welcome King Air aircraft into the facility while continuing our support of the HondaJet and PC-12 platform,” says Charlie Amento, VP and director of MRO services. “This location allows us to better support operators in north Florida and beyond while maintaining the same standards of quality and expertise Banyan is known for.”

Staffed by experienced technicians, the SGJ facility delivers Banyan's trusted level of service with a focus on efficiency, safety and customer satisfaction. The site supports inspections, modifications, avionics support, AOG assistance and heavy maintenance services for King Air, PC-12 and HondaJet aircraft.
