Philosophy

DS Aviation

The business aviation community is very small.  Folks in this business are judged by the measure of their honesty, integrity and transparency.  At DS Aviation, we are guided by these fundamentals.  We do not treat our clients like customers; we treat them like family.  Most of our clients are repeat customers and the remainder are generated by referrals.

This business can be stressful, intense and sometime a bit too “stuffy”.  Over the past 17 years we have managed to find the balance between dedicated efficient service and a true love for the business aircraft and the people who support it.   In whatever project we tackle, our client’s experience is what matters.  We solve the problems on “the floor” and keep the drama to a minimum.
