Steiner Aviation International, a full-service aircraft maintenance and avionics provider based at Akron-Canton Regional airport in Ohio, is expanding its airframe maintenance and inspection capabilities, marking another step in the company's continued growth as a trusted MRO resource for business and regional aircraft operators.
Steiner Aviation International now offers airframe maintenance and inspection capabilities for an expanded range of aircraft, including: Embraer ERJ 135/145s; Cessna Citation 500, 550, 560/560+/560XLs; Beechcraft King Airs and Dassault Falcons.
The expanded capabilities build on Steiner's more than 25 years of aircraft maintenance and avionics experience and reflect the company's strategy of providing operators with a highly responsive, customer-focused alternative to larger MRO facilities.
To support the growing range of aircraft and services, Steiner Aviation has also expanded its technical team with the addition of three A&P technicians and two avionics technicians. The five new technical positions strengthen the company's capacity across both airframe maintenance and avionics while helping Steiner accommodate a growing customer base.
“This expansion is more than just adding aircraft types to our capabilities; it's about giving operators another choice for high-quality maintenance backed by personal service and accountability,” explains Kevin Steiner, general manager of Steiner Aviation International. “We provide a level of personal service and commitment that can be difficult to find at a larger MRO. Our goal is to keep aircraft downtime as short as possible because we understand that when an aircraft isn't available, the impact on an operator can mean lost revenue on many different levels.”
The company's approach emphasises clear communication and fair, transparent pricing throughout the maintenance process. Steiner Aviation works to eliminate unexpected costs at final invoicing while helping customers make informed decisions regarding maintenance, repairs and upgrades. Through an established network of parts suppliers with access to extensive inventories, the company can also locate appropriate aircraft components at competitive prices while helping minimise delays associated with parts availability.
The expanded airframe capabilities complement Steiner Aviation International's existing maintenance, inspection and avionics services, including avionics repair and installation, system upgrades, troubleshooting, maintenance and consulting.
The company is also planning for its next stage of expansion. Steiner Aviation's long-term growth plan includes adding additional hangar and shop space in the near future, providing the capacity needed to accommodate larger aircraft as the company's maintenance and avionics capabilities continue to grow.
The planned facility expansion, combined with recent additions to the technical workforce and broader aircraft support capabilities, represents Steiner Aviation International's ongoing investment in becoming an increasingly comprehensive maintenance and avionics resource for aircraft operators throughout the region and beyond.
