Premier Aircraft Now Garmin Dealer
Partnership is expected to broaden the aircraft dealer’s scope of installation and repair services, from new product sales to complete panel upgrades.
Premier Aircraft, known as one of the larger aircraft sellers in the U.S. for Diamond and other brands, is now an authorized dealer and service center for Garmin avionics.
In business since 2002, Premier has Diamond sales and service center locations in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; and Norwood, Massachusetts. The company is also one of the largest sellers and brokers of many other aircraft, including Piper, Cessna, Beechcraft, and Cirrus.
In addition to aircraft sales Premier is also a service center for aircraft engines ranging from Diamond Aircraft, Epic Aircraft, Beechcraft and Cessna, Mooney, and Austro Engines, as well as Continental Aerospace Technologies piston and diesel designs.
According to Travis Peffer, CEO of Premier Aircraft, the company has been providing factory support for Garmin avionics for years.
“This partnership will allow us to further broaden our scope of installation and repair services to include new product sales and complete panel upgrades,” Peffer said.
Samuel Tavarez, Premier's vice president and director of maintenance, also praised the news.
“Becoming a Garmin-authorized dealer and service center will be a great complement to our array of aircraft maintenance and upgrade capabilities,” Tavarez said in a statement.
Tavarez added that the dealer will now have the ability to do full panel upgrades or avionics changes on customer aircraft during maintenance, which means the customer gets their aircraft back in the air sooner.
The Garmin dealership extends to all its products, so Premier Aircraft is also a dealer for Garmin products for automotive, marine, and personal recreation devices.
