Nearly a year after acquiring an MRO/FBO facility in Dayton, Ohio, from Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems, Premier Private Jets’ PremierMRO has become a dealer for Collins Aerospace avionics products. Under the dealership agreement announced this week, PremierMRO will be able to install Collins flight decks and avionics and provide warranty service.

In addition to offering installation of Collins Pro Line Fusion touchscreen-controlled integrated avionics in Cessna Citations and Beechcraft King Airs, PremierMRO can upgrade Pro Line 21 avionics, install Collins’ 5G-resistant radar altimeters, and service avionics under the Collins Avionics Service Plan. The Fusion upgrade modernizes the flight deck with synthetic vision and support for LPV and RNP approaches. The touchscreen displays simplify the pilot interface and reduce keyboard data entry while the avionics also offer physical controls.

“Since acquiring the Dayton facility…we have expanded capabilities to better serve customers, while retaining a long-tenured and deeply experienced technical staff, especially in the area of avionics,” said Premier CEO Josh Birmingham. “I’m proud to say, we’ve created a vital hub for the full gamut of aircraft services, including mobile AOG response in the Upper Midwest.”

The company also has a facility in Stuart, Florida. PremierMRO services include engine work and interior refurbishment, as well as aircraft painting.
