Advance Aero will operate as part of L2 Aviation's manufacturing organization, with a focus on supporting internal programs while continuing to serve existing customers. Integration efforts are already underway to align systems, processes, and quality standards across both organizations, with a focus on maintaining continuity and performance throughout the transition.

"We built Advance Aero on a foundation of craftsmanship, reliability, and customer commitment," said Todd Wilson, President of Advance Aero. "Joining L2 Aviation allows us to take that foundation and scale it in a way that benefits both our employees and our customers. There is strong alignment in how both companies approach quality and execution, and we are excited about what we can accomplish together."

The acquisition reinforces L2 Aviation's broader strategy to expand its capabilities across engineering, certification, manufacturing, and field services.
