Jet Maintenance Solutions (Jet MS) has launched a new line maintenance station at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport in France.

The company, which provides MRO solutions for business and regional aircraft, said the addition would allow it to “widen its reach and offer its extensive service portfolio to a growing client base”.

Nice Côte d’Azur Airport recorded more than 2,050 departures by private aircraft in 2020.

Jet MS said it would also offer mobile repair team (MRT) services to surrounding airports: at Cannes, Marseille and Toulon.

“By opening our doors to new clients in this picturesque city of the French Riviera, we are entering a new and demand-heavy market,” said Jet MS CEO Vytis Zalimas.

“Having had over 2,050 movements even during the pandemic in 2020, the airport shows a strong demand for sophisticated private aircraft infrastructure. With a combination of our know-how, globally acclaimed reputation and leading balance of cost-effectiveness and quality, we are sure to have a strong foothold in this market.

“By being a part of Avia Solutions Group, which includes FL Technics, our shared know-how will allow us to reach our full potential when conducting line maintenance procedures at our station in Nice. With the successful beginning of operations at this location, we are already looking at more potential business aviation centres and FBO organisations where we could offer our services.”

Jet MS is planning to open a new line maintenance station in London, UK, in early autumn.
