West Star Aviation, a provider of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for business aviation, today announced it has completed the acquisition of DCJet.
The addition of DCJet strengthens West Star’s nationwide service footprint and enhances the company’s ability to deliver rapid, coordinated Aircraft on Ground (AOG) support across the United States.
DCJet is recognised in business aviation for responsive field maintenance and AOG expertise, along with a customer-first culture built on teamwork and technical excellence.
West Star Aviation pursued the acquisition to build on those strengths by bringing together the two organisations’ shared commitment to customer success, driven by expert technicians, collaborative teamwork, integrity, and operational excellence.
With this acquisition, West Star Aviation significantly expands its already established AOG network, one of the largest in the industry, growing from more than 200 technicians to over 250 AOG-ready experts positioned to respond 24/7/365 nationwide.
This expanded bench and broader geographic coverage are designed to help operators minimise downtime when an aircraft needs maintenance support away from home base.
In addition to AOG support, DCJet currently operates from five locations: Dulles International Airport (IAD) in Dulles, Virginia; Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) in Chicago, Illinois; Orlando International Airport (MCO) in Orlando, Florida; Boeing Field (BFI) in Seattle, Washington; and Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Stephen Maiden, CEO of West Star Aviation, said: “DCJet has earned a strong reputation for how they show up for customers, quickly, professionally, and with deep technical capability.
“Their culture and approach fit naturally with ours. Together, we are strengthening our ability to support business aviation operators nationwide with faster response, greater coordination, and even more technical depth in the field.”
Joe Ortiz, President and Founder of DCJet said: “This is an exciting step for our team and our customers.
“By joining West Star Aviation, we gain additional scale and resources while staying focused on what has always defined DCJet: taking care of the customer, working as a team, and delivering solutions where and when they are needed most.”
