We wanted to be certain that our business objectives and certificate milestones could be met and it was obvious to us that the JDA team provided the best option and expertise.” said Scott Penton, President of Performance Aircraft of Mississippi.

"JDA's 135Pro™ focuses on mentoring and training company personnel as well as coordination and interface with the FAA. The program minimizes the workload and challenges new charter operators face in getting certified, said Tom Stuckey, JDA Vice President of Business and Commercial Aviation Solutions and manager of the 135Pro™ program. “We support the client during every step in the certificate process and we continue to support them after they become certificated, Stuckey said.”
