Located at the Raleigh Executive Jetport (KTTA), MAG’s Sanford Aircraft Maintenance Facility plays a pivotal role in ensuring mission readiness for Special Missions Training (SMT) aircraft while also serving as a trusted resource for the broader general aviation community. The facility is central to MAG’s ability to sustain aircraft availability for vital training programs supporting Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC) and other mission partners nationwide. At the same time, the Sanford team leverages its expertise to provide high-quality maintenance services to aircraft owners across the country, making the site a key asset that bridges national defense readiness with the evolving needs of civilian aviation.
Mission Ready Responsiveness: Ensuring Critical Aircraft Are Available for Any Training Call
MAG Maintenance Operations out of NC supports MAG’s ISR -Platform fleet of aircraft based out of the Southern Pines airport (KSOP). The aircraft are primarily used for special missions training (SMT), across the country that act as a resource for the Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) program among other customers.
The team in Sanford supports our SMT aircraft nationwide today by providing access to maintenance during missions across the country. While aircraft are providing service away from the North Carolina area, the team in Sanford acts as a remote maintenance resource as well assists other non-MAG owned facilities to support our aircraft. Critical service on mission equipment can be needed at moment’s notice and the highly trained team of mechanics on staff in Sanford are always dispatch ready.
“With the expansion to include Part 145 repair the Sanford facility is becoming a critical asset enabling MAG to expand its portfolio to include biz jet maintenance. This capability will sustain mission readiness and deliver rapid, dependable support for both localized and specialized Global Operations. Ensuring aircraft remain available and effective wherever and whenever they are needed.” – Robert Heller, Executive Vice President of Multi Domain Operations.
