Certified Aviation Services was founded in Santa Ana, Calif., in 1990 in response to airline demand for third-party line and ground support equipment maintenance. Today, the company has facilities at 16 airports across the U.S. and serves a number of business aviation operators who fly airliner-size airplanes.
By 2005 the company had grown to seven stations, including Southern California airports such as Burbank, Long Beach and Los Angeles. It focused on servicing heavy commercial aircraft and heavy corporate aircraft operators that had airliner-size aircraft such as the Boeing 707, president Alex Vorobiess told AIN. “As the number of corporate operators using heavy iron grew, so too did the demand because most MROs catering to business aviation couldn’t handle that size aircraft. It was a good fit for CAS because we already had extensive experience with that type of aircraft and could provide customers with maintenance, refurbishment, dry washing and interior cleaning, among other services,” he said.
