What Dallas Aeronautical Services does

Dallas Aeronautical Services LLC, operating as DAS Aviation, is a privately held FAA Part 145 Repair Station founded in 2004 and headquartered in Cedar Hill, Texas. The company specializes in airframe structural repairs, sheet metal fabrication, component overhaul and repair, landing gear overhaul and repair, composite structure repair, and engineering solutions for aircraft. It holds four separate FAA Repair Station certifications (XQDR264Y, J21D713Y, XQDD264Y, GQRR443L) and operates four repair facilities across Texas, Ohio, and Colorado, plus a 75,000+ square foot parts inventory facility in Illinois, totaling over 200,000 square feet of repair shop space.

DAS Aviation's product and service portfolio is organized into ten component repair categories — composite fairings/panels, cowlings, exhaust ducts, flaps, flight control surfaces, inlets, landing gear, radomes, thrust reversers, and thrust reverser doors — and nine supporting services including composite repair, engineering, fabrication, machining, mobile/on-site repair (MRT), paint, parts support, sheet metal, and transmissivity testing. This breadth positions the company as a single-source provider for component-level MRO across business jet, commercial airline, and military operators.

The company generates revenue through quote-based repair services, engineering service requests, and parts support, with direct sales conducted via its website, phone, and email. It markets through NBAA-BACE trade show participation (Booth 3045A) and active social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), as well as an email newsletter. Its careers portal is hosted through West Star Aviation, suggesting operational affiliation with that larger MRO platform. No funding rounds, M&A activity, ownership details, or disclosed revenue figures are present in the available data.
