Epic Aircraft, the manufacturer of the E1000 line of single-engine turboprop aircraft, has chosen Yingling Aviation to join its network of authorised service centres, creating more opportunities for Epic operators in the US Midwest.

Throughout its 80-year history, Yingling’s track record in maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, especially on turboprops and jets, has drawn aircraft owners and operators to its Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower Airport facility in Kansas.

Yingling provides airframe and engine routine inspections, major repairs, refurbishments, upgrades and modifications for owner-operators, corporate fleets, government and specialised aviation customers. Its maintenance team works on aircraft from single-engine pistons to large business jets.

The appointment gives Epic owners an authorised option for maintaining their aircraft to the manufacturer’s standards in the Midwest.

Kerry Heiss, vice president of sales and marketing at Yingling Aviation, says: “We’re eager to earn their trust to protect and keep their aircraft flying.”

Yingling follows the recent addition of Stevens Aerospace & Defense Systems at Centennial Airport in Colorado and Islander Aviation in Pompano Beach, Florida to Epic’s authorised service centre network.
