Private aircraft facility at Scottsdale Airport to be managed by The Arnold Companies

Keystone Aviation will assume aircraft management duties, private air charter and aircraft maintenance services at the airport

The Arnold Companies announced the formation of a new entity to manage upscale private aircraft facilities at Scottsdale Airport. 

TAC is a Texas-based aviation services and energy marketing company and one of the nation’s largest independent distributors of refined petroleum products.

Through the newly formed brand TAC Private Hangars, TAC will provide exclusive hangar and office space with dedicated ground handling services to locally-based aircraft tenants outside the confines of a traditional fixed-based operator. 

This announcement came after the company recently acquired the assets of Gemini Air Group, a 24-year-old Scottsdale aviation company,

“The TAC family is proud to be adding a new airport into our network as we announce this next phase of expansion,” Greg Arnold, TAC Chairman and CEO stated in the release.

He added that the company is excited to expand the TAC brand as TAC Private Hangars to include the exclusive private hangar, office and ground services starting with Scottsdale Airport.

“The name simply states what the new facility and company is about; Private Hangars [will be] managed by highly trained associates and efficient business practices so tenants can keep their focus on their business and for flight crews, especially since flying is their business,” Mr. Arnold stated. 

In addition, Keystone Aviation, a TAC affiliate company, is the largest provider of aircraft management, charter and specific aircraft maintenance and will be executing those services from the premises.

“Since Keystone Aviation was founded over 25 years ago, we have prided ourselves on the focus, training and high attention to detail for all parts of the aircraft management, charter and maintenance businesses,” Aaron Fish, COO of Keystone Aviation, stated.

On May 1, TAC Private Hangars and Keystone Aviation picked up the former Gemini Air Group operations in Scottsdale and continues to offer the same services to tenants and charter customers who utilize the Keystone Aviation services at the same facilities.

Keystone Aviation will also be establishing a second hub for its fleet based in Scottsdale. 

“Picking up a second hub in Scottsdale expands our regional footprint south from Salt Lake City in the desert-to-mountain corridor we fly regularly,” Mr. Fish stated. “With the addition of the Scottsdale location, we can now offer a greater selection of aircraft to get customers where they want, when they want.”

Offering a large collection of on-demand charter aircraft, the Scottsdale Airport base will establish an additional point of service to existing Keystone Aviation customers and pilots as they expand into the airport's robust charter and management market. 

“The launch of TAC Private Hangars is an exciting new chapter for our entire organization,” Joe Gibney, COO of TAC Private Hangars, stated in the release. 

Launching the new TAC Private Hangars at Scottsdale Airport, The Arnold Companies has set the ceiling high for what is to come.

“The brand extension under TAC is a strategic opportunity for development as we continue to diversify our services and expand into new markets meeting today’s business aviation demand,”  Mr. Gibney stated.
