EPIC Gold Star VLA has recently signed Epic Aircraft as its first Gold Star Authorized Service Center, signaling strong performance in high-demand maintenance and a potential opportunity to cross-sell premium maintenance services, avionics upgrades, and extended support contracts to Epic and similar high-end operators.

Growth footprint With multiple locations across Concord, CLT, ILM, and BHB and a rapid-response AOG division, there is a clear capacity to scale services for additional operators along the East Coast, offering bundled maintenance, avionics, and AOG support to new fleets.

Certified capabilities As an FAA-Certified Part 145 Repair Station and authorized service provider for Textron, Piper, Daher, and ICON, VLA can target OEM-aligned maintenance packages, avionics installations, and Parts Management solutions to operators seeking certified, one-stop shop support.

Avionics & partnerships VLA is a Garmin and Collins avionics dealer, which creates cross-sell opportunities for avionics upgrades, pilot training support, and fleet modernization projects for existing customers and partner networks.

East Coast focus Current East Coast concentration combined with a capable AOG team positions VLA to pursue expansion deals with regional operators facing downtime and urgent maintenance needs, including long-term maintenance contracts and service partnerships.
