Meet the crew at SRQ that helps keep planes up in the air

Aviotec, an aircraft maintenance company based at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, has served the general aviation community since 2008.

And now, a new owner is expanding the business, with contracts with nearly every airline operating at the airport, under the call letters SRQ, to perform maintenance when issues arise with their aircraft.

Victor Mena, who bought Aviotec two years ago, says it was simply a case of recognizing the opportunity during meetings of SRQ’s tennant managers. “It started as a series of conversations,” that led to the agreements.
