Steve Jones began putting together the basics of what would become the D&K Aviation maintenance shop during the late 1980s while he was the maintenance manager for Eastern Air Lines at La Guardia airport.

According to Jones, at the time there was a small shop and hangar at Republic that took care of his airplane, and he had an IA so he helped out by doing inspections. “I was getting pretty tired of working for the airlines,” so when Eastern closed in 1990 “I bought out his business and shifted to working part time for the airlines.” D&K Aviation officially began business at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, Long Island, in 1991.
