Hernando County lands luxury jet refurbishing company
(Brooksville, FL) At todays meeting, the Board of County Commissioners welcomed
Transformation Aviation Services (TAS) as the newest tenant at the Brooksville-Tampa Bay
Regional Airport. The company plans to hire 125 full-time workers over a three-year-period with
an average annual wage of $45,861.
I am excited to welcome Transformation Aviation Services to our community, County
Administrator Len Sossamon said. Manufacturing luxury planes is a niche market and Im
proud they chose Brooksville for its headquarters.
TAS is a premier provider of interior modifications and light maintenance for head of state and
VIP corporate jet aircraft with more than 70 years of aviation experience. The company will
provide service and modification to various aircraft models within the business jet market.
TAS headquarters will consists of a 21,000-square-foot hangar housing office and shops and a
separate 4,500-square-foot state-of-the-art welcome center, which will house TASs corporate
office, customer offices and flight center. The company intends to lease the air services facility
owned by the airport located at 15421 Technology Drive. The company has committed to a 20year lease, has requested an option to purchase and has plans for expansion on the
neighboring parcel.
Contributions to the community will grow as our business grows, President and CEO David
Tidwell said. The vote of confidence from the BOCC will bring long lasting relationships to the
county as well as surrounding communities. We are very excited about this new relationship
and look forward to the coming years and increasing our footprint at Brooksville-Tampa Bay
Regional Airport.
The company expects to begin operating in August.
The Board approved the following incentive package:
Lease payment incentive for a 36-month period to be paid directly to the airport (annual
