Aero Center Atlanta has joined the SmartSky dealer network as a sales and installation partner. With seven FBO locations across the US, Aero Centers is a full-service management, charter and FBO provider, which also offers Part 145 maintenance services, including connectivity upgrades for business aircraft, at its Atlanta, Georgia location.

"Our growing, nationwide company is proud to strengthen our offerings with SmartSky next-generation inflight wi-fi," says vice president of technical services Dan Lane. "Aero Center Atlanta offers deep maintenance expertise with all sizes of aircraft. Because the SmartSky LITE system is geared toward light jets and turboprops, it is a particularly strong asset for connecting this class of airframes that has not previously had a streaming-level solution. Our sales and installation teams are excited to offer the significant upgrades to passenger experiences delivered by SmartSky's proven connectivity."

Opened in 1965, Aero Center Atlanta is the crown jewel of its FBO portfolio and the only full-service, integrated FBO at the DeKalb-Peachtree airport. Offerings include full Part 145 maintenance services. Its top-of-the-line upgrades include SmartSky Flagship for mid to large cabin aircraft along with SmartSky LITE for smaller business aircraft.

"Aero Centers is an ideal partner for SmartSky because of its commitment to providing premium customer experiences through its charter, management, FBO and maintenance operations. Its wide-ranging expertise and focus on expanding its capabilities and geographic reach have earned a stellar reputation in the industry that is now further strengthened by the ability to deliver SmartSky premium connectivity to customers," says Aria Bahawdory, director of MRO account management for SmartSky.

SmartSky's roster of certified aircraft for the SmartSky Flagship and SmartSky LITE systems is continually growing.
