MAC Air Group of Maine Aviation Corporation joined the Avfuel Network as it opened its new FBO facility—MAC Jets LLC—on Tuesday, June 28 adding full FBO services to its 57 year resume in aviation.
“We’re excited to further serve the aviation community by extending our offerings to include full FBO services,” said Allyn Caruso, owner of Maine Aviation Corporation. “As a three-generation family business, we’re passionate about aviation and providing service that’s second-to-none. We’ve excelled in our other aviation businesses and look forward to exceeding industry standards as an FBO destination.”
The new 43,000 square foot FBO facility for MAC Jets is the only operation on the south side of the KPWM airport field, affording a more private flying destination. In addition, the FBO avoids airport congestion and allows for easy access to major highways so guests can arrive in downtown Portland in just seven minutes. Adjacent to the main runway, pilots will find flying in and taking off exceptionally convenient while guests can de-board and drive away in mere minutes for traveling made easy.
Specializing in charter, sales and maintenance, MAC Air Group operates 18 jets and is an FBO customer itself. With nearly 60 years of insight, they know what exceptional service in the FBO business requires.
"Our success is driven by our dedication to total customer satisfaction—our top priority along with safety," said Caruso. "As our diverse range of services and capabilities now includes FBO amenities, we are able to offer a full complement of professional support to the general aviation community."

ABOUT MAC AIR GROUP
For nearly 60 years, Maine Aviation Corporation, dba MAC Air Group, has provided aviation services to the general and corporate aviation communities. In 1947, brothers Joe and Tom Caruso, just out of the military after World War II, started flying scenic flights from Southwest Harbor, Maine. By their third year, the brothers leased the Bar Harbor Airport, finding a permanent home for their aviation business. Then, in 1959, Joe Caruso moved his family to Portland, where he established Maine Aviation Corporation.
Fifty-seven years later, MAC Air Group, under the leadership of Joe’s son Allyn, is a world-class company providing aviation services globally with the same consistent focus on quality, reliability and safety. Today, Al Caruso operates MAC Air Group with his wife, Alysan, and younger son, Travis, the company's director of maintenance, providing their customers with international charter; aircraft management; aircraft sales, acquisition and leasing; maintenance, parts and avionics; and now, fixed base operations and fuel.
