Bensenville, IL (December 15, 2023) – Flightcheck Commercial Aviation Services, a leading provider of aircraft line maintenance, ground handling, and de-icing services, announced today that it acquired Keenan Technical Industries (KTI).
Founded in 1990 by Andrew Keenan, KTI provides outsourced aircraft maintenance services to airline operators at Bradley International Airport and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. KTI is recognized for its outstanding customer service and highly trained aircraft maintenance mechanics.
“The acquisition of KTI marks an exciting milestone for Flightcheck,” said Wayne Jimerson, Flightcheck’s CEO and President. “KTI established a strong regional market position by providing best-in-class customer service and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to safety, making this a compelling opportunity to expand Flightcheck’s footprint into the Northeast region and deliver top-quality services to our customers across multiple locations. We are very pleased to welcome KTI mechanics to the Flightcheck family.”
Lineage Capital invested in Flightcheck in 2020 to support Flightcheck’s growth ambitions. KTI marks Flightcheck’s second acquisition following the addition of Boxell Aerospace’s line maintenance division in April 2022.
