The Blackhawk Group, a provider of modifications and maintenance services for light turbine aircraft, announced its acquisition of Arizona-based Glendale Aero Services’ maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) business. Glendale Aero will be rebranded as a Blackhawk Performance Center (BPC).&nbsp;
Located at Glendale Municipal Airport (KGEU), BPC-Glendale is a Part 145 certified repair station and is a factory-authorized service center for Cirrus Aircraft and Textron Aviation (Cessna). It specializes in servicing Cirrus SR pistons and SF50 Vision Jets, along with Cessna models, and the location's capabilities include Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) servicing and avionics installations as a Garmin dealer. This marks Blackhawk's fifth acquisition and expands the network of existing Blackhawk and AVEX performance centers across the U.S.
Glendale Aero Services maintenance director John Fisher will continue in his role at BPC-Glendale. He expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “Partnering with the Blackhawk Group is a significant achievement for our business,” he said. “Our dedication to high-quality service and customer-centric operations makes this a natural fit and a mutually beneficial partnership.”
