Extra Aircraft is opening a U.S. operation at the DeLand Airport (KDED) in DeLand, Florida, to increase support for its large contingent of North American customers. The announcement came from company founder Walter Extra, an industry pioneer who has been designing and building aerobatic aircraft for more than 40 years.
The new division, Extra Aircraft USA, will provide factory-authorized maintenance and spare parts services for all Extra owners based in North America. It will also be the receiving point where company staff members will perform pre-delivery checks on new Extra aircraft entering the continent from the German factory.
