By integrating Aircraft Systems, Sunvair, a company founded in 1955 with facilities across the United States, is positioning itself as a more comprehensive, single-source provider for commercial and military operators. The addition of a Miami-based facility also strategically enhances Sunvair’s geographic footprint, particularly in a key hub for Latin American and global cargo operations.
