Pilatus takes over MRO operations in the USA

The Swiss Pilatus Group has taken over the MRO activities including employees from Aero Centers Epps.

Aero Center Epps is based in Atlanta at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport and provides sales and maintenance services for Pilatus aircraft on the U.S. Southeast Coast. Last year, Epps was acquired by SAR Trilogy Management, LLC. In connection with this acquisition, the new owner has decided to sell Pilatus Maintenance and Repair Services (MRO) in order to better concentrate on its non-Pilatus aircraft maintenance and charter business and aircraft management.

On the occasion of the signing of the contract, Markus Bucher, CEO of Pilatus, emphasized: “With this acquisition, we want to ensure and further improve the continuity and quality of our award-winning services on the southeast coast of the USA. I am pleased that we have the know-how and employees on board and can continue to offer our customers first-class service – ‘Together we create the Pilatus Class’.”
