RoigWest At VNY, West Coast Jet At CRQ Latest Additions
Crownair Aviation announced Monday
at NBAA 2008 it has acquired RoigWest Maintenance -- a turbine
aircraft maintenance service and support center at Van Nuys Airport
(VNY), the third busiest general aviation airport in the world --
as well as West Coast Jet Services at McClellan Palomar Airport
(CRQ), which will now be known as Crownair Aviation-CRQ.
RoigWest and Crownair Aviation-CRQ are the latest additions to
the newly formed Crownair Companies, an aviation maintenance and
avionics industry leader in the Southwest United States that
started with Crownair Aviation at Montgomery Field (MYF) in 1951
and grew in 2007 with the acquisition of IFR Avionics, an
international leader in avionics engineering and custom aircraft
outfitting, based at Van Nuys Airport.
"Through these acquisitions, we will establish a greater
presence in the US Southwest that allows our business jet and
general aviation customers access to high-quality maintenance and
avionic services in four locations," says Grant Murray, owner of
Crownair and former owner of the Long Beach and Oxnard Million Air
franchises. "We’ve made it easier for our customers to
receive maintenance, avionics upgrades, repairs and personnel
services through a single organization they’ve come to know
and trust."
Formed in 2008 in San Diego, CA, the Crownair Companies network
includes four aircraft service firms: Crownair Aviation-MYF, IFR
Avionics-VNY, RoigWest Maintenance-VNY, and Crownair
Aviation-CRQ.
In addition to the current locations, Crownair plans to expand
to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Arizona by 2010.
