What our clients are saying.

"Over the past seven years that I have been with a Falcon 900EX I have been coming to Thornton and your team on an ever- increasing basis. Your team is always eager to respond, and their efficiency has ensured that I have not missed a single trip due to maintenance delays."

Brandon P.
Maintenance Supervisor

"Thornton offers excellent quality of work and their billing is very competitively priced. We have used them  for inspections, an engine change under MSP and ancillary discrepancies. They are the ‘Go To’ guys without running around a telephone tree."

Tim F.
Aviation Manager

"They understand that minimizing downtime is critical to an operator, so they worked side-by-side with us. They also proactively sought ways to accelerate our project including offering seven day a week coverage with their avionics team.”
