STS Aviation Services Announces Five-Year Enabling Contract with Royal Air Force to Service Fleet of C17 Aircraft

BIRMINGHAM, April 20, 2021 — STS Aviation Services (STS), a division of STS Aviation Group and a leading MRO provider to the global aviation industry, announces a five-year contact to provide fuel tank repair services for the Royal Air Force’s fleet of C17 military transport aircraft.

“We are very excited to continue our longstanding relationship with the Ministry of Defense and the Royal Air Force,” said Patrick Meyer, Vice President of STS Aviation Services. “Supporting this campaign compliments our company’s existing business strategy while allowing our team to expand its capability set even further.”

The bulk of work for this program will take place at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and will be carried out by an experienced team of STS Fuel Tank Specialists based in the United Kingdom.

“Having expert aircraft maintenance personnel close to RAF Brize Norton is a huge strategic advantage for all parties involved,” said Rob Gray, Business Development Manager for STS Aviation Services. “Our mobile technicians are known internally as a ‘quick reactionary force,’ which means our existing Engineers and Aircraft Fuel Tank Specialists will always be accessible when maintenance needs arise on the C17 fleet.”

Welcoming Colleen Cyr to the STS Aviation Group Family

Colleen Cyr (1)

If you stop and think about it, IT professionals are kind of like corporate America’s version of The Wizard of Oz. They are the lever pullers, the puppet masters and the dream makers. The work they do helps software functional flawlessly and keeps internal systems operating at maximum efficiency. And the great ones, teammates like Colleen Cyr, are always available to help in a pinch.

You see, IT professionals really are just like The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He helped Dorothy and Toto just like IT helps all of you. And while you may never know what lies behind the curtain, trust in the fact that our IT team is always hard at work to make sure your journey through “Oz” is as smooth and enjoyable as it can be.

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the latest edition of our “Meet the Team” series. Today, it gives us great pleasure to formally introduce Colleen Cyr. Colleen joined STS Aviation Group earlier this week as an IT Systems Analysts stationed at our company’s aircraft base maintenance facility in Melbourne, Florida. And since much of our global workforce is still doing the remote-work thing, we wanted to pen this post in an effort to help you all get to know Colleen just a little bit better. To that end, we asked Colleen three questions, and her responses to those questions are offered below. 

We hope that you enjoy learning more about your new teammate, and Colleen, welcome to the family. We’re so excited to have you!

I have 15 years of experience in the IT field. My previous position for the past 11 years was at a local MSP. I have worked in multiple positions, including service desk, project admin, project technicians, and internal system administration.

Questions 2: What do you like to do for fun when you are not working?

I have a lot of varied interests. Anything from hiking / running to traveling, exploring, board games, jigsaw puzzles as well as technology and cars.

Question 3: What is your favorite movie of all time, and why is it your favorite?

My favorite movie of all time is Fried Green Tomatoes (check out the movie trailer below). It is my favorite movie because it shows a sisterhood that a lot of women forget about as they age, and then life happens.

STS Aviation Group is Flying to Orlando for MRO Americas 2021

It wasn’t that long ago when conferences were commonplace throughout the global MRO industry. And with 2020 being one of the most trying years in recent memory, a year where everything changed, the STS Aviation Group team is finally ready to get back on the road once again to meet, in person, all of our business partners, colleagues and industry friends. 

This April 27 -29, STS Aviation Group will be putting its nose-to-tail aircraft maintenance solutions on display at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida for MRO Americas 2021. Our team will be stationed at booth #825, so if you and your company plan on attending the conference, fly on over to our space and say hello!

One of the key topics of discussion will no doubt be our company’s recent global expansion. A little over one year ago, we added base maintenance services in Europe with facilities at Newquay (NQY) and Birmingham (BHX) in the United Kingdom. In addition, STS Aviation Group added to its already robust aircraft interior service offerings after it acquired Airbase Canada based out of Montreal. 

But that’s not all… our global line maintenance segment has also grown. We now operate 29 active line maintenance stations in the United States and the Bahamas as well as 7 stations in the United Kingdom and France. Add three more station in Canada, and that brings our total active station count 40!

For all of us at STS Aviation Group, providing value to our customers rests at the core of everything we do. That is why our company has adopted a cross-segment business model that genuinely offers the global aerospace industry with “Total Solutions to Keep You Flying!” 

Once again, we are so excited to be heading back to MRO Americas in person this year, and we cannot wait to see you all there!

STS Mod Center Kicks Off Thales Wi-Fi Installation Program in Melbourne

MELBOURNE, Fla., October 12, 2020 — STS Mod Center (STS), a division of STS Aviation Group and a leading MRO provider to the global aviation industry, kicks off a major aircraft connectivity project in Melbourne, Florida that will call upon the team to install Thales Wi-Fi systems on more than 100 commercial aircraft over the next 12 months.

“The first aircraft to be a part of this program, an A321, arrived a few days ago and installation work is already underway,” said Mark Smith, President of STS Aviation Group. “In the coming months, the STS Mod Center team in Melbourne will install Thales Wi-Fi systems on more than 100 aircraft; aircraft that includes models from both Boeing and Airbus.”

It takes the STS Mod Center team about three days to complete the nose-to-tail installation of a Thales Wi-Fi system on narrowbody aircraft and about four-to-six days when working on widebody aircraft.

“Between three and six days is our target turnaround time for every aircraft Wi-Fi installation package that we do,” said Chris Smeets, Senior Vice President & General Manager of STS Mod Center. “And in my experience, we’ve almost never missed that target thanks to the incredibly efficient work-flow system and quality audit processes we have in place at our Melbourne facility.”
