or nearly 50 years, Porta Air has offered renowned
German-quality aircraft services. With two recent
expansions in less than a year, it seems the company
hopes to secure that legacy for generations to come. After
opening a line maintenance facility in Larnaca, Cyprus
in mid-2012, Porta Air Service expanded again in April
2013, adding a dedicated avionics center at the HamburgFuhlsbüttel Airport.
Just two hours north of its headquarters, Porta Air’s
expansion adds even broader avionics capabilities to the
one-stop provider’s already comprehensive list of services
for airframe, engine, propeller, interior modifications
and paint. At its three
locations, Porta Air
services piston and
turboprop aircraft for
European and U.S.
business and general aviation customers.
According to Laurent Gauthier, owner and CEO, more
facilities may be in the company’s future, to better respond
to customers’ needs and provide greater convenience.

Robertson STOL High Lift System that enhances takeoff
parameters to a new 8.33 kilohertz radio solution that meets
regulations, supplemental
type certificates continue to
top Porta Air’s priorities.
“Recently, we developed a
package solution for the 8.33
conversion,” Gauthier said.
“For a fixed amount, we offer a
Garmin device along with the wiring, assembly, function
tests, documentation and release to service.”
Beyond avionics, Porta Air’s experienced technicians
perform all types of services, from inspections and test
flights to installing noise-dampening equipment. In 2012,
the company completed a Blackhawk engine conversion
for the King Air 90.
“We offer a wide range of technical solutions, such
