About Us
AIR-O Specialists
Air-O Specialists of Texas, Inc. was originally located on Addison Airport for more than 20 years. In June 2001 Charles Schandelmeier, the lead mechanic, purchased the company from the original owner, Ferrell Trask. Since that time, the company has grown and built a reputaion for outstanding customer service and quality workmanship. In 2006 the company relocated to Collin Country Regional Airport (TKI). Air-O Specialists employs two full time licensed lAs and one apprentice. We offer precise attention to detail, personal services, an experienced knowledge base, and 24 hour availability. We are looking for further growth and expansion
