A global leader in aircraft modification and installation reaches an industry benchmark by installing, on average, 70 in-flight connectivity packagers per month while operating in four global regions including North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Melbourne, Fla., November 28, 2018 – In today’s hyper-connected world, airline passengers have grown to expect high-speed Internet connection on every flight. The trouble is, the aerospace industry is still playing catch up and trying to fuel this demand with modern solutions. According to a recent study, approximately 43% of aircraft in service globally offer passengers the ability to connect to the Internet in some way, shape or form, but thanks to the recent work of companies like STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod, the dream of high-speed, in-flight connectivity for everyone is moving closer to global reality.

Based out of Melbourne, Florida and Kansas City, Missouri, STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod have perfected the installation process of high-speed connectivity solutions across all commercial aircraft types.

“Each connectivity package we do, regardless of aircraft type, takes about three (3) days to complete. That’s fast,” says Daniel Burgess, Senior Vice President of STS AeroMod. “And given our team’s ability to deploy mobile, rapid-response teams across all corners of the world, we are now completing about 70 aircraft installations per month.”

Low TAT’s and rapid product rollout is what it’s all about for STS, and customers all over the world are starting to take notice.

“Name me one other company that can do a complete nose-to-tail install in three days,” says Mark Smith, Group President of STS Mod Center. “The truth is, I don’t know of a single company that can do installs as effectively, consistently and simultaneously all over the world like the STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod teams are doing right now.”

In addition to servicing both top-tier and low-cost carriers across North America and Europe, STS Mod Center and STS AeroMod are also working with clients on the ground in Asia and the Middle East.

A leading provider of global MRO services deploys a new division focused on offering maintenance, refurbishment, spare parts and warranty solutions as it relates to ground support equipment.

Melbourne, Fla., August 28, 2018 – STS Aviation Group announces the launch of STS GSE Services, a company based out of Melbourne, Florida that’s dedicated to offering cost-competitive maintenance, refurbishment, spare parts and warranty services to the aircraft ground support equipment market.

Mark Smith, Group President of STS Aviation, will oversee the operations of STS GSE Services alongside Gabriel Girard who has been promoted from his former role as Operations Manager for STS Mod Center to Director of Operations for STS GSE Services.

“As President of every company under STS’ Maintenance, Engineering and Modification Group, I am always looking for new and exciting ways to create synergies,” articulates Smith. “Take STS Mod Center and STS Line Maintenance, for example. These two companies will now have a go-to company for GSE services, and that company will be internally housed under the STS Aviation Group umbrella. These types of synergies not only save us money, but we’re able to pass on those savings to all of our clients requiring GSE services.”

In addition to servicing aircraft ground support equipment at its aircraft hangar facility in Melbourne, Florida, STS GSE Services looks forward to soon troubleshooting and repairing aircraft ground support equipment at STS’ growing network of 30+ line maintenance stations across the United Sates and Bahamas.

“Servicing GSE equipment will be at the center of what we do, there’s no doubt about that, but our team will also focus on refurbishing old equipment, selling spare parts and offering extended warranty services,” states Girard. “And given that we have the full backing and support of Mark Smith’s team and the extended STS Aviation Group family, we will be able to reduce client downtime and save them money no matter where they are, geographically speaking, or how fast they need the job done.”
