JENSEN BEACH, Fla. (November 13, 2025) — Tank Tigers, an STS Aviation Group Company (STS), has been selected by Jetaire Group as the preferred global installer of INVICTA™, the FAA-certified alternative to OEM nitrogen-generating systems for late-life Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

INVICTA™ employs a proprietary reticulated polyurethane foam technology that disrupts the fire triangle, mitigating the risk of fuel tank ignition. This solution provides operators and lessors with a proven, cost-effective method of compliance ahead of the 2026 global deadline under the Fuel Tank Flammability Reduction (FTFR) rule.

Through its partnership with Jetaire Group, Tank Tigers has already completed nearly 50 INVICTA™ installations across Airbus and Boeing single and twin-aisle aircraft. The expanded commercial agreement between Jetaire Group and STS strengthens both companies’ ability to meet rising demand and ensure operators achieve compliance efficiently and on schedule.

“As the mandatory modification deadline approaches, our priority is ensuring that operators and lessors have a proven, certified alternative to nitrogen-generating systems,” said Michael Williams, CEO of Jetaire Group. “STS Aviation Group and the Tank Tigers team have been instrumental in executing installations with precision and efficiency, giving customers the confidence that their aircraft will achieve compliance on time.”

“Our expanded relationship with Jetaire underscores the success and reliability of the INVICTA™ program,” said Craig Rose, Vice President & General Manager for Tank Tigers, an STS Aviation Group Company. “Together, we’re providing operators with a streamlined path to compliance that minimizes downtime and delivers lasting safety and performance benefits.”

Certified by the FAA, EASA, ANAC, and AFAC, INVICTA™ delivers a maintenance-free, installation-efficient, and cost-effective solution for compliance with FAR 25.981 and FAR 121.1117 requirements.

Approved Aircraft Platforms Include:

Airbus A320 and A330 families
Boeing 737, 757, and 767 series
Boeing 777 technology (in development and nearing completion)

With hundreds of aircraft still requiring modification to meet compliance deadlines, the Jetaire–STS collaboration ensures operators and lessors immediate access to certified kits and world-class installation resources through Tank Tigers’ global MRO network.

JENSEN BEACH, Florida (April 7, 2025) — STS Aviation Group (STS), a global leader in aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, is proud to announce the formation of STS Defense Solutions, a newly established division focused on scaling the company’s global military aircraft MRO capabilities.

While STS Defense Solutions is new, STS is no stranger to the defense sector. The company currently supports the Royal Air Force’s Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning (AEW) Mk1 aircraft modification program in the United Kingdom and has been serving U.S. and allied defense clients for years through a range of specialized maintenance programs. The launch of STS Defense Solutions is a formal expansion of that commitment — an evolution, not a beginning.

To lead this new division, STS has appointed Brian Bento as Executive Vice President of Defense. Bento will report directly to STS Aviation Group’s CEO, PJ Anson.

Bento brings more than 30 years of aerospace and defense experience to the role. His leadership spans full-spectrum ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) operations, platform integration, Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and direct support of Combatant Commands around the world. From managing multi-million-dollar ISR programs to coordinating airborne operations across AFRICOM, EUCOM, and SOCOM, Bento’s career exemplifies the strategic vision STS Defense Solutions is built on.

“I’ve spent my career navigating the intersection of military operations, global partnerships, and aerospace innovation,” said Bento. “With STS Defense Solutions, we’re not just offering aircraft maintenance. We’re offering assurance to our partners, our allies, and our warfighters that mission readiness will never be compromised.”

Under Bento’s leadership, STS Defense Solutions will deliver scalable, mission-ready solutions that go far beyond traditional MRO. From sensor integration and platform modification to aviation engineering and global logistics, the division is built to support every aspect of military aviation sustainment.

“STS has long been a trusted partner to military organizations worldwide,” said Anson. “The launch of STS Defense Solutions formalizes our commitment to the defense sector and strengthens our ability to support its growing needs. With Brian leading the charge, we are poised to deliver unmatched operational excellence across every mission.”

Dubai, UAE – February 11, 2025 – STS Aviation Services, in partnership with Diehl Aviation, is pleased to announce the expansion of its operations in Dubai with the official opening of a new state-of-the-art facility in the Dubai Airport Freezone. This 1,100-square-meter site is strategically located in the heart of the airport’s logistics hub, further strengthening both companies’ regional presence and operational capabilities.

The newly expanded facility will serve as a shared space for both STS Aviation Services and Diehl Aviation. Diehl will oversee the final assembly and certification of cabin components under EASA Part 21G, while STS Aviation Services’ skilled staff will perform the final assembly and kitting of the parts, with Diehl Aviation providing oversight and certification. This collaboration supports an even more dynamic approach to aircraft maintenance and cabin component services in the region.

This strategic collaboration enhances both companies’ ability to meet the growing demand for high-quality products, bringing specialized expertise to local customers. The shared facility features dedicated spaces, including production lines, rework workstations, spare parts warehousing, and office space, ensuring seamless operations between the two teams.

The initial focus of this expansion will be on completing components for the A380 aircraft family, specifically lavatories and sidewall panels. However, the site is equipped to extend its capabilities to other aircraft families based on customer demand. With this expansion, Diehl Aviation and STS Aviation Services are positioning themselves to deliver faster, more efficient services while continuing to exceed customer expectations.

As part of their ongoing commitment to excellence, both companies are also exploring the possibility of expanding their capabilities. Diehl Aviation already holds EASA Part 21G certification for the assembly of cabin components, while STS Aviation Services is progressing toward GCAA CAR 145 certification, which will allow for the on-site repair and certification of aircraft components in Dubai.

“The allocation of production capacity together with our local partner STS Aviation Services marks a significant milestone in our strategic expansion,” said Seraj Mazidi, Head of Diehl Aviation Middle East. “By combining Diehl’s expertise in cabin components with STS’s maintenance capabilities, we are setting new standards for service delivery and support in the Middle East.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Diehl Aviation to expand our footprint in Dubai,” said Rod Willits, VP and GM of STS Aviation Services Middle East. “This collaboration allows us to provide unmatched aviation solutions and reinforces our commitment to excellence in the region.”

Diehl Aviation has maintained a presence in the Dubai Airport Freezone since 2020, where the company’s representative office has successfully managed customer services and sales for the region. The partnership between STS Aviation Services and Diehl Aviation combines the strengths of both companies, providing a comprehensive range of aviation solutions and raising the bar for quality service in the Middle East.
