Maintenance and Modifications
MRO Profile: Landmark Aviation
Newly named Landmark Aviation is still growing within the business aviation community, at least when it comes to name recognition.

Newly named Landmark Aviation is still growing within the business aviation community, at least when it comes to name recognition. While the name may be new–it made its debut at November’s NBAA Convention–the company’s roots go deep. In 2004 The Carlyle Group bought Garrett Aviation Services from General Electric, adding it to a family that included Piedmont Hawthorne (which the group purchased in 1998) and Associated Air Center (which Carlyle bought in 2000).

The challenge for management was bringing together three well known and well respected but distinctly different companies. So at the 2004 NBAA Convention, The Carlyle Group announced a flight support, maintenance and overhaul company named Garrett/Piedmont Hawthorne/Associated. The new name certainly covered all the bases, but it didn’t exactly roll off the tongue.
