Premier Aircraft, known as one of the larger aircraft sellers in the U.S. for Diamond and other brands, is now an authorized 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, and the partnership will further broaden the scope of repair services.

Samuel Tavarez, Premier's vice president and director of maintenance, also praised the news.

“Becoming a Garmin-authorized service center will be a great complement to our array of aircraft maintenance and upgrade capabilities,” Tavarez said in a statement.
