As Founder and President of Jet Logistics, W. Ashley Smith, Jr. has personally piloted, managed and performed service on a wide variety of aircraft for all types of owners during his career. Mr. Smith is also a licensed Airframe and Power plant mechanic who holds Inspection Authorization (IA). This type of background and experience, exemplified by not only the company’s founder but its entire staff, provides Jet Logistics with a unique perspective on behalf of the aircraft owner compared to most other general aviation maintenance facilities:
“Our Mx division certainly operates differently from many other providers in the general aviation industry. There are too many shops and people who will just change parts, throwing money at diagnosis to see if it will address a problem at the owner’s expense, until they stumble across a solution. If your only business is maintenance, that is an obvious way to increase profits – but what happened to the best interests of the aircraft owner? Our Mx system policies, for example, focus on using experienced mechanics trained to troubleshoot and properly diagnose a problem before ordering the appropriate parts. At Jet Logistics, our business is to manage and operate aircraft in our clients’ best interests, so when it comes to maintenance and service of your valuable asset, we truly understand the meaning of “Maintaining your Budget AND Your Plane™.”
W. Ashley Smith, Jr. – Founder and President, Jet Logistics Inc.

“I like the fact that Jet Logistics not only services this type of aircraft, but employs people who know how to operate and manage the plane. We’ve worked with other shops where their mentality seems to be that if you can afford to own a plane, you shouldn’t be concerned over what they bill you for maintenance or service expenses. Try explaining that to an owner and the accountants.”
– Captain, Learjet 55

“Our flight crew saw a marked improvement in not only the quality of work performed on our aircraft, but just as importantly, the care and concern by which their maintenance department treated the plane and our staff while troubleshooting the problem. We’re a customer they recognize by name, not just a number, and we appreciate that.” – Owner, Falcon 20 |
“We diverted to RDU recently because of an in-flight squawk during an extended East Coast business trip. Being from the west coast, we had never worked with Jet Logistics, but they responded to our problem and had us running again just a few short hours later so we could maintain our owner’s busy schedule. It made us feel like we were their #1 customer.”
– Co-pilot, Westwind II

“I trust Jet Logistics to not only manage my owner’s Learjet, but also service it. And one of the things I respect the most is that if they feel another service provider is better-equipped to handle a particular job, whether a scheduled or unscheduled maintenance event, they are always looking out for our best interests. They know the business, so if another shop is dragging their feet or overcharging, I know JLI will address that before I ever see an invoice.” – Business Manager, Lear 35A |
“After switching to Jet Logistics for oversight on our Hawker maintenance needs, we saw fiscal savings on an annual basis of 15- 20% compared to working with a major national maintenance chain. And they took the time to become familiar with our aircraft and logbooks to identify and diagnose several other unresolved concerns too.” – Owner, Hawker 800A
