Aero Charter
AERO CHARTER, located at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield, Mo., is certified as a Daher-Socata authorized service center. Aero Charter was chosen by Cutter Aviation, the South-Central U.S. sales dealer for Daher-Socata and TBM 850, to support TBM owners in the northern region of their territory. The Daher-Socata service center at Aero Charter joins the two existing service centers at Cutter Aviation in Dallas-McKinney, Texas, and Cutter Aviation in San Antonio, Texas, as part of the support network serving Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. This authorization establishes Aero Charter as the only Daher-Socata authorized service center in Missouri, serving TBM owners throughout the Midwest. The authorization allows Aero Charter to service and maintain Daher-Socata planes, such as the TBM 850. In order to be qualified as an authorized service center, Aero Charter technicians had to go through extensive special training personally led by the manufacturer’s mechanics. “What this certification means to Aero Charter clients is an assurance that they will receive quality support both for their own planes, as well as for the aircraft in which they are passengers,” said JOHN MORGENTHALER.
