Company Background

Owned and Operated by Experienced Aviation Professionals

Jerry King, with his wide range of aviation experience and never ending commitment to perfection and customer satisfaction, is the founder and core of KING AEROSPACE.  Prior to forming KING AEROSPACE Inc., Mr. King was President, Chief Executive Officer and part owner of Associated Air Center.  As a result of Mr. King's leadership, Associated Air Center, grew from 80 employees to over 600.  The Firm became internationally recognized as the premier large jet aircraft facility for maintenance and modification completions.  Mr. King oversaw the maintenance, avionics upgrades and modification of countless Gulfstreams, Challengers, Lears, and airline size aircraft.  Most of these projects required extensive engineering and FAA certifications, including Supplemental Type Certificates (STC).  Clients included domestic and international airlines, corporations, governments and wealthy individuals.  Mr. King was involved in numerous Head of State or Presidential air transport class aircraft projects.  In order to meet the requirements of the most demanding clients, several projects were performed at remote international sites.  Serving such a diverse group of clients, on an international basis, provided Mr. King with the opportunity to develop the highest level of customer and product support.
