What Intercontinental Jet Service Corporation does

Intercontinental Jet Service Corporation (IJSC), headquartered in Hangar 27 at Tulsa International Airport in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, having been acquired in May 2006. The company operates as a factory-owned authorized Mitsubishi MU-2 Service Center and one of the largest Honeywell TPE331 Major Service Centers globally, holding FAA, EASA, and ANAC repair station certifications. It employs 11-50 staff and serves a defined base of business turboprop and light jet operators across North America, Europe, and South America.

IJSC's core offering spans airframe, engine, propeller, accessory, and avionics maintenance, repair, and modification, supported by additional authorized support for the Piaggio P-180 and Cessna Caravan plus Hartzell, McCauley, and MT-Propeller service. The company has developed multiple proprietary Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs), including the MU-2 Limited Edition refurbishment program, Hartzell Scimitar Propeller STC, Sagem ICDS cockpit modernization, and the Dash 10 engine conversion, creating recurring modernization revenue tied to its installed base of more than 300 MU-2 operators in North America and 220+ globally.

Revenue is generated through four streams: (i) aircraft maintenance and repair services via labor hours, parts markup, and service fees; (ii) parts and component sales distributed in part through channels such as Stockmarket.aero and Partsbase.com; (iii) aircraft sales transaction fees in the $800K-$1.25M range per deal, including the MU-2 Limited Edition program priced at approximately $1.15M-$1.2M per aircraft; and (iv) engine and propeller overhaul and exchange programs. Customers include charter operators such as Earle Martin (Part 135) and charity operators such as Grace on Wings, reflecting a mix of commercial and mission-driven fleet operators anchored to legacy turboprop platforms.

Core offering

Intercontinental Jet Service Corporation (IJSC) is a factory-owned and authorized FAA/EASA/ANAC aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) provider specializing in the Mitsubishi MU-2 twin turboprop, Piaggio P-180 Avanti, Cessna Caravan, and other business aviation airframes. The company delivers in-house airframe, engine (Honeywell TPE331 and others), propeller (Hartzell, McCauley, MT), avionics, and accessory overhaul services, plus proprietary Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) upgrade installations, parts distribution, and brokerage of pre-owned Mitsubishi MU-2 aircraft.

Product overview

Intercontinental Jet Service Corporation (IJSC) is a comprehensive aviation maintenance, repair, and modification service provider, not a traditional product company. IJSC operates as a factory-owned authorized service center offering five core service lines — Airframe, Engine, Propeller Shop, Avionics, and Accessory Overhaul — across multiple aircraft types including the Mitsubishi MU-2 (primary specialty), Piaggio P-180 Avanti, Cessna Caravan, Cessna Citation, Learjet, and others. Beyond standard maintenance, IJSC develops and owns Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) for proprietary upgrades including the Hartzell Scimitar Propeller STC for MU-2, the Dash 10AV/Dash 10T engine conversion (exclusive installation facility), the Sagem ICDS glass cockpit STC, the Becker AMU 6500 audio panel STC for Piaggio Avanti, the MU-2 Limited Edition enhancement program, and a Voice Alerting System for MU-2B. IJSC also lists used aircraft for sale and maintains a parts inventory for MU-2, Piaggio, and TPE331 series. All core services interconnect under the same roof, allowing IJSC to handle major inspections, structural repairs, modifications, avionics upgrades, and accessory/propeller overhauls for the same aircraft — with the proprietary STC programs representing the highest-value, most differentiated offerings.
