Arcadia Aviation has recently expanded maintenance capabilities by adding the Israeli Aircraft Industries, (IAI), Westwind 1124 and 1124A series aircraft to its FAA Part 145 Repair Station License.

Mike Harvey, a former IAI Field Service Representitive who currently sits on the manufacturer’s advisory panel, has joined Arcadia’s maintenance team as Director of Westwind Technical Services at the company’s Martinsburg, WV, FBO facility.

Harvey, a twenty-eight year veteran systems specialist for the IAI business jet product line, has also been contracted by Worthington Aviation to provide technical assistance and consulting services for the Westwind. Previously, the majority of his career has also included technical positions with AstraJet, Galaxy Aerospace and Gulfstream Aerospace.

“We are pleased to, once again, add an industry-leading professional to the Arcadia team,” commented Robert Garrett, Jr., Arcadia’s president. “Teaming up with Mike will mark the first time in twenty-two years that his expertise will be available to the non-OEM sector, as well as establish Arcadia’s commitment to the preservation of the Westwind fleet. We look forward to offering a fresh maintenance alternative for operators based on our core principals of providing superior services and financial transparency in all transactions with our company.”

Headquartered in Manhattan, Arcadia Aviation is a full-service aircraft management company with FBOs in Martinsburg, WV, (MRB) and Sullivan County, NY, (MSV). The company is welcoming Westwind operator inquiries regarding proposals for upcoming Chapter 5 airframe inspections, prepurchase surveys and Westwind aircraft sales.
