Founder(s): Not publicly disclosed with sufficient current primary-source documentation

Historical Headquarters: Cleveland, Ohio, United States

Country: United States

Geographic Markets Served: Primarily United States, with historical AOG coverage across the continental United States and Caribbean and regulatory capability supporting international customers

Historical Official Website: constantaviation.com

Current Website Status: The Constant Aviation website redirects to Flexjet Technical Services.

Company Status: Acquired and integrated into Flexjet’s maintenance and technical-services organization

Parent Company: Flexjet

Broader Corporate Affiliation: Directional Aviation

Major Related Companies / Operations: Flexjet Technical Services, Nextant Aerospace legacy capabilities, Flying Colours Corp. within Flexjet’s expanded technical-services ecosystem

PrivateJetia Verification Status: Verified, with legacy-brand transition noted

Constant Aviation should no longer be treated simply as an independent standalone MRO. Flexjet announced its acquisition of Constant Aviation on February 22, 2023. The Constant Aviation domain now redirects to the Flexjet Technical Services platform, indicating that its technical capabilities have been incorporated into the broader Flexjet maintenance and engineering organization.

2. Executive Company Overview

Constant Aviation is a U.S.-based business aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul organization historically headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, with major operations at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Orlando Sanford International Airport. Its service portfolio developed around business-jet airframe and engine maintenance, heavy inspections, structural repair, avionics installation and repair, interiors, aircraft paint, non-destructive testing, components, engineering support and nationwide Aircraft on Ground response.

The company became particularly associated with complex business-aircraft maintenance and modification work involving Embraer, Bombardier, Gulfstream, Cessna and other business-aviation platforms. Historical specialties included the Embraer Legacy family, Bombardier Challenger series, Citation aircraft, Hawker and Beechjet platforms, Phenom aircraft and Piaggio P.180 aircraft. Constant also developed significant capabilities in damaged-aircraft recovery, composite and sheet-metal repair and aircraft connectivity installations.

A major corporate transition occurred in February 2023 when Flexjet acquired Constant Aviation. Flexjet stated that the acquisition brought Constant’s airframe, engine, avionics, heavy-maintenance, component-overhaul, structural-repair, paint, interior, engineering and AOG capabilities into its internal maintenance infrastructure. Constant initially continued operating under its own brand and servicing both Flexjet and non-Flexjet aircraft.

By 2026, the former Constant Aviation website redirects directly to Flexjet Technical Services. Flexjet Technical Services currently represents a broader maintenance, engineering and completions organization that combines technical capabilities developed across Constant Aviation, Nextant Aerospace, Flying Colours Corp. and Flexjet’s own maintenance organization.

For PrivateJetia classification purposes, Constant Aviation remains highly relevant as an established MRO brand and corporate predecessor whose facilities, engineering expertise and technical capabilities form part of today’s Flexjet Technical Services infrastructure.

Documented work has covered:

  • Light jets
  • Midsize jets
  • Super-midsize jets
  • Large-cabin business jets
  • Regional / special-mission aircraft
  • Selected rotorcraft and UAS support capabilities
  • Government aircraft

Major Manufacturers

Embraer

One of Constant Aviation’s strongest historical technical relationships. Directional Aviation identifies Constant as operating a factory-authorized service center for Embraer Legacy and ERJ 135/145-series aircraft.

Bombardier

Significant Challenger-series maintenance experience, including intensive Challenger 300 7,500-cycle inspection programs.

Textron Aviation / Cessna

Gulfstream

Large-cabin paint, structural and maintenance capability extended to Gulfstream aircraft, and current Flexjet Technical Services lists Gulfstream among its supported airframes.

Beechcraft / Hawker

Historical specialization included Hawker 800A/XP and Beechjet 400A/XP.

Piaggio Aerospace

Piaggio P.180 was historically listed among company aircraft specialties.

  • Beechjet 400XP
  • Piaggio P.180

Constant’s Orlando paint operation historically had capacity for aircraft as large as the Gulfstream G650, Dassault Falcon 7X and Bombardier Global family.

8. Fleet Information

Constant Aviation was primarily an MRO and technical-services organization rather than an aircraft operator.

Total Fleet Size: Not applicable

Owned Aircraft: Not publicly disclosed as a material operating fleet

Managed Aircraft: Not applicable as a primary business activity

Charter Aircraft: Not applicable

Aircraft Available for Charter: None identified under Constant Aviation

Fleet Geographic Distribution: Not applicable

Constant Aviation should therefore not be classified in PrivateJetia as a charter operator, fractional fleet provider or aircraft-management company solely because its current parent, Flexjet, operates aircraft.

Its commercial role was principally aircraft technical support.

Certificate Number: WC7R346J

Regulation: 14 CFR Part 145

Certificated Location: Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Cleveland, Ohio

FAA operations specifications confirm Constant Aviation, LLC as the holder of repair station certificate WC7R346J. The same document identifies Nextant Aerospace and Flexjet as other business names under which the certificate holder may conduct authorized operations.

EASA Part 145

Historical Approval: EASA.145.6230

A 2019 EASA renewal document confirms Constant Aviation, LLC d/b/a Nextant Aerospace under EASA Part 145 approval EASA.145.6230, linked to FAA certificate WC7R346J.

The current Flexjet Technical Services site lists an EASA certificate among its regulatory documents, but the precise current organizational scope should be verified directly before representing the legacy Constant approval as unchanged.

Other Current Technical Services Certifications

Flexjet Technical Services currently lists certificates or approvals relating to:

  • FAA
  • EASA
  • Mexico AFAC
  • Brazil ANAC

These relate to the current successor technical-services organization and should not automatically be interpreted as standalone Constant Aviation approvals.

Safety Management System

In 2021, Constant Aviation’s Safety Management System received FAA recognition and subsequently received a Level 4 SMS rating from WYVERN, according to Aviation Week reporting.

FAA Diamond Award

Constant Aviation earned the FAA Diamond Award for aviation-maintenance technician training every year from its first successful attempt in 2016 through the acquisition period, according to Flexjet.

NATA AMT Employer Recognition

NATA’s published award records include Constant Aviation, Cleveland as a Five-Star recipient for training conducted during the 2023 calendar year.

Constant Aviation was documented as a Corporate Member of Women in Aviation International and exclusive sponsor of the organization’s Cleveland chapter in 2022. It also participated with the Orlando chapter.

NATA

Constant Aviation participated extensively in NATA’s AMT Employer Recognition program, but receipt of a NATA award should not by itself be interpreted as proof of current corporate membership.

Current NATA Membership: Not independently verified

NBAA

Constant Aviation personnel and activities have appeared in NBAA programs, including an employee receiving NBAA’s Business Aviation Top 40 Under 40 recognition.

Current Corporate NBAA Membership: Not independently verified

12. Leadership

Because Constant Aviation has been integrated into Flexjet Technical Services, a distinct current Constant Aviation executive team is not clearly published.

Historical CEO

David Davies

David Davies was appointed CEO of Constant Aviation in January 2020 after serving in senior roles within Flexjet, OneSky Flight, Nextant Aerospace and Flight Options. He remained publicly identified as Constant Aviation CEO through 2022.

Current Standalone Constant Aviation CEO

Not publicly disclosed

Current Standalone COO

Not publicly disclosed

Flexjet Maintenance Leadership

At the time of the Constant Aviation acquisition, Jay Heublein was identified as Flexjet Senior Vice President of Maintenance and spoke publicly regarding integration of Constant into Flexjet’s maintenance infrastructure.

PrivateJetia should avoid describing historical Constant Aviation executives as current management unless their present roles are specifically confirmed.

13. Ownership & Corporate Structure

Ownership Type: Privately owned subsidiary / integrated business

Parent Company: Flexjet

Broader Affiliation: Directional Aviation

Constant Aviation had already been part of the Directional Aviation family before the formal 2023 Flexjet acquisition. Flexjet announced on February 22, 2023 that it had acquired Constant Aviation and would incorporate the company’s maintenance infrastructure into its operating platform.

The acquisition included Constant’s facilities at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Orlando Sanford International Airport along with the company’s mobile AOG network.

Flexjet subsequently acquired Flying Colours Corp. in August 2023, further expanding the group’s maintenance, completions and product-support infrastructure.

By 2026, Constant Aviation’s website redirects to Flexjet Technical Services, providing additional evidence that the legacy business has been consolidated into Flexjet’s technical-services identity.

The legacy Constant Aviation brand remains relevant for historical search demand, aircraft specialization, certifications, maintenance expertise and company-directory discovery, but commercial enquiries should increasingly be directed toward Flexjet Technical Services.
