Prima Air, a prominent player in the private charter industry, takes immense pride in its dedicated team of professionals, who are committed to maintaining the highest safety standards and upholding exceptional professionalism. At the heart of this commitment lies a robust team of aviation maintenance technicians, who play a crucial role in ensuring operational excellence.
Prima Air actively seeks to attract new talent to join its ranks and advance their careers within the company. The company recognizes the vital role these technicians play in ensuring the safety of its aircraft and the skies. This dedication to the team is evident in their recent celebration of National Aviation Maintenance Technician Day on May 24th, where a cookout was held to provide staff with an opportunity to celebrate their achievements and bond as a team.
“We are a close-knit group that supports each other,” notes Adam Stanley, Prima Air’s VP of Maintenance. “Everyone is highly skilled in their own way, together we have over 280 years of aviation maintenance experience.” This experience and the supportive work environment at Prima Air are a testament to the company’s commitment to its team.
The rewards of working in the aviation maintenance sector are evident at Prima Air, where the team has experienced notable successes. Pegasus Elite Aviation, recently acquired by Prima Air, has maintained the prestigious Argus Platinum Safety Certification since 2008, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to industry-leading safety standards.
“Working as an aviation maintenance technician at Prima Air is a great experience that offers talented individuals great opportunities within an industry-leading company committed to the highest standards,” adds Stanley. He emphasizes that Prima Air provides comprehensive training programs designed to equip technicians with hands-on experience, ensuring they are prepared for the demands of the industry. The high demand for skilled aviation maintenance professionals means that new graduates can easily secure well-paying jobs upon completion of these programs, setting them on a path to a successful and rewarding career.
Stanley highlights the dynamic nature of the work, stating, “A typical day for a maintenance technician at Prima Air is never the same. One day you can be replacing a tire and another day troubleshooting an autopilot issue or replacing a winglet. Our technicians gain a lot of experience from the fast-paced and ever-changing environment.”
“My advice for anyone interested in pursuing a career in aviation maintenance is to go for it,” he encourages. The fast-paced, diverse, and rewarding nature of the work at Prima Air provides a platform for individuals to excel and contribute to the safe and efficient operation of aircraft within the private charter industry.
