LOUISVILLE, Ky. — July 2, 2026

Aviation Technology, a trusted provider of aircraft maintenance, inspections, and aviation support services for the business aviation industry, today announced the official launch of Aviation Technology Interiors, a new dedicated aircraft interiors division created through the acquisition of a fully operational turnkey interiors facility located at Anderson Municipal Airport (AID) in Anderson, Indiana.

The expansion marks one of the most significant milestones in Aviation Technology’s history and serves as the company’s flagship growth initiative during its 25th Anniversary year, reinforcing its long-term commitment to delivering comprehensive aviation solutions while enhancing customer convenience, quality, and operational efficiency.

For larger inspections, maintenance events, or heavy maintenance projects, Aviation Technology can coordinate interior refurbishment work alongside maintenance at its headquarters located at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF). This dual-location model allows customers to maximize maintenance downtime by completing multiple projects simultaneously, improving operational efficiency and reducing time out of service.

The launch of Aviation Technology Interiors also expands the company’s geographic footprint into the Indianapolis market, strengthens regional service capabilities, and supports continued investment in skilled aviation careers and economic growth.

A Turnkey Interiors Facility Built to Deliver Immediately

The newly launched Aviation Technology Interiors operates from a 10,000-square-foot specialized facility designed specifically for aircraft refurbishment and customization. The acquisition included the complete turnkey business — production equipment, specialized tooling, woodworking facilities, a dedicated paint booth for aircraft interior component refinishing, finishing equipment, inventory, and all operational assets necessary to begin servicing customers immediately.

Rather than building an interiors division from the ground up, Aviation Technology strategically acquired an established operation with proven infrastructure and an experienced team already in place — allowing the company to accelerate market entry and deliver immediate customer value.

Experienced Leadership and Team

Leading the division is General Manager Gary Lykins, an accomplished aircraft interiors professional with 19 years of industry experience. Joining Lykins is a highly skilled team of interior specialists bringing nearly 50 years of combined aircraft interiors expertise.

Together, the team offers deep experience across every aspect of aircraft cabin refurbishment, including complete interior transformations, custom upholstery, cabinetry, wood veneer, interior restoration, and bespoke cabin customization tailored to business aviation customers.

Comprehensive Interior Services Portfolio

Aviation Technology Interiors offers a full suite of premium aircraft interior capabilities for business aircraft operators, corporate flight departments, charter providers, fleet operators, and private aircraft owners:

Solving a Critical Industry Challenge

The addition of these capabilities addresses a growing industry need for streamlined project execution. Aircraft owners and operators frequently coordinate maintenance events and interior upgrades through multiple vendors, creating scheduling challenges, communication gaps, increased logistics, and extended aircraft downtime.

By integrating interiors into its service portfolio, Aviation Technology enables customers to complete inspections, maintenance, avionics upgrades, and cabin refurbishments under one trusted organization.

For 25 years, Aviation Technology has evolved alongside the needs of business aviation, continuously expanding its capabilities to better serve customers. The launch of Aviation Technology Interiors represents the company’s next chapter — transforming Aviation Technology into a more comprehensive aircraft services provider focused on delivering a seamless experience from inspection to interior completion.
