FlyHouse, a Van Nuys-based aviation services provider, has acquired Jets MRO, a Dallas-based FAA Part 145-certified maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility. The deal establishes FlyHouse’s presence at Dallas Executive Airport with a 40,000-square-foot hangar and adds a component repair division in Miami, South Florida.
Jets MRO specializes in servicing business jets including Bombardier Challenger and Learjet series, as well as Textron Aviation Beechjet and Citation models. Jack E. Lambert Jr., FlyHouse chief executive, stated the acquisition strengthens maintenance infrastructure and creates key bases in Dallas Executive and South Florida.
This move follows FlyHouse’s pattern of expansion through acquisitions, including the completed purchase of Sun Air Jets, which added Part 145 capabilities, hangars at Van Nuys and Camarillo airports, an FBO in Camarillo, and six large and super-midsize jets such as Gulfstream G650, G500, GIVSP, G200, Global Express, Citation X, and King Air 360ER. Sun Air Jets brought IS-BAO Stage 3, ARGUS Platinum Elite, and Wyvern Wingman Pro safety ratings, integrating over 100 professionals into FlyHouse.
The Jets MRO acquisition enhances FlyHouse’s footprint in major U.S. business aviation markets, potentially increasing competition. Analysts note it could pressure rivals like West Star Aviation to consolidate or refine services, with operators scrutinizing pricing and quality amid evolving network options.
