Jet East announced the official opening of its new facility in Statesville, North Carolina. The aviation maintenance company offers full-service capabilities and 24/7 AOG maintenance.
Jet East announced its intention to open the new facility in October 2022. The new facility is at the City of Statesville Regional Airport (SVH) and since the announcement about the intent to open, Jet East has been recruiting, hiring and preparing the facility to become fully operational. The new site has two state-of-the-art facilities with over 75,000 square feet of hangar space.
The location is full service and will focus on scheduled and unscheduled aircraft maintenance, while supporting services like component repair, interior, paint and NDT services. The facility will have 40,000 square feet of office and back shop space, able to accommodate administrative and support functions. The SVH location will also include an adjacent parcel of land, allowing the possibility of future expansion and developmental opportunities.

The Statesville location will focus on providing maintenance on Jet East’s four main platforms including Citation, Bombardier, Embraer and Gulfstream aircraft types.
“We are thrilled to be opening our new facility on April 3rd and already have customers scheduled,” GM of the Statesville facility David Crowder said. “We have assembled a dedicated leadership team to support our programs which includes a Program Manager for each airframe.” Crowder continued, “When you add up all the experience that the team brings to the table, it’s truly impressive with hundreds of years in the industry. We have been fortunate to hire a talented group in this aviation-rich area of the United States, and we look forward to the continuation of seeking elite talent.”
Both aircraft owners and operators will benefit from the cost savings of the sales tax exemption when they pick Jet East for MRO services in North Carolina. This is available for MRO work on an aircraft with a gross takeoff weight of over 2,000 pounds. The exemption can allow the customer to save money while still choosing quality MRO services.
“The opening of a new location in North Carolina provides customers with more options for their maintenance,” COO of Retail Operations at Jet East Dan Podojil said. “The facility is conveniently located and offers the full spectrum of services.” Podojil continued, “We have combined an experienced team of individuals and a strong leadership team who collectively possess the desire to be a preferred solution for aircraft maintenance. Our commitment to providing the best service will be reflected throughout the new hangar, and we are confident that we will deliver on the promise of high quality that is expected in our line of work.”
