What Toledo Jet does

Toledo Jet Center, LLC is a privately held FAA-certified aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) provider founded in 2009 in Swanton, Ohio, specializing in airframe, engine, and avionics services for business and corporate turbine aircraft including Cessna Citation, Learjet, Hawker, King Air, Challenger, Falcon, Embraer, Beechcraft, Bombardier, and Gulfstream models. The company operates two FAA Certified Repair Stations — at Toledo Express Airport (KTOL, CRS # 2TJR420B) and Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE, CRS # 2TJD420B) — and holds EASA certification, NDT Level 3, and Textron Citation NDT Level 3 qualifications that allow it to develop and validate proprietary inspection protocols. Service lines span routine and scheduled maintenance, structural and component repairs, avionics installations, pre-purchase inspections and consulting, and 24/7 AOG (Aircraft on Ground) mobile response.

Revenue is generated across five primary streams: aircraft maintenance and repair services (project-based labor charges plus parts markup and a 3.5% shop supplies fee), authorized avionics sales and installation as a factory-authorized dealer for Garmin, Honeywell, Gogo, Rockwell Collins, Genesys, Universal Avionics, Airtext, Starlink Aviation, and Tamarack Aerospace Group, parts sales and exchange with refundable core charges, pre-purchase inspections and consulting, and 24/7 AOG emergency response billed via labor, travel, and parts. Pricing is non-binding and quotes are valid for 30 days; customers pay deposits or prepay before work commences and full payment is required prior to aircraft delivery. Customer acquisition is consultative and relationship-driven via direct sales at fixed facilities and fly-in/fly-out mobile deployments, targeting corporate fleet operators, Part 135 carriers, aircraft brokers and dealers, and operators seeking connectivity or performance upgrades for legacy aircraft.

The company was acquired by investment firm 313 Equity Partners in July 2025, with Greg Fell (formerly COO of Gama Aviation US and CEO of JetNet) named CEO. Under new ownership, Toledo Jet expanded its flagship Toledo hangar door from 69 by 21 feet to 90 by 24 feet to accept larger Citation XL/XLS+ and Latitude models, secured authorized dealer status for Tamarack Active Winglets (April 2025) and Starlink Aviation (January 2026), and is positioned around the May 2026 Gogo ATG-to-LTE transition. A cross-referral relationship with sister company TLC Jet, an ARGUS Platinum-rated charter operator, supports shared enterprise customer access within the affiliated aviation ecosystem.
