Expansion into Comprehensive Aviation Services

As the aviation industry evolved, so did Tuxedo Air Group. Recognizing the growing needs of aircraft owners, we expanded beyond maintenance to offer aircraft paint services, interior refurbishments, avionics installations, and turbine engine overhauls. This strategic move allowed us to provide end-to-end aviation solutions, ensuring every aspect of aircraft care was handled with expertise.

With a strong industry presence, Tuxedo Air Group further diversified into aircraft management, charter services, and sales. By specializing in Piaggio, Cessna Citation, and King Air Aircraft, we became a trusted leader in aircraft operations. Our expertise enabled us to serve a broad clientele, from private aircraft owners to corporate fleets, positioning us as a one-stop aviation service provider.
