Threshold Aviation Group is evidence of evolution in action. Company CEO Mark DiLullo got hooked on aviation while in Air Force pilot training for the Air National Guard. When he returned to civilian life, he went to work for Martin Aviation in Ontario, Calif., and began building civilian flight time.
In 1989 he started a small side business called Threshold Technologies and began flying a Falcon 20 for a customer. It was during this stint that he discovered how important maintenance is to the owner’s perception of the value of ownership. He said, “While the owner was happy with my flying he was unhappy with maintenance providers that were never on time or within the agreed-upon budget.” He realized that to ensure his longevity as the Falcon’s pilot he would have to control the non-flying aspects of the operation, especially maintenance.
