Recognition/Award
In 2022 Heavy Metal Air was named Best Aircraft Maintenance Company in West Harrison, New York. It's recognition of the same thing we tell every customer: the work gets done right, gets signed off properly, and comes back on schedule.
One award doesn't fly anybody home. But it does say that the people whose aircraft we look after, and the community we operate in, noticed the standard we hold. We've kept it there since.

Locations/Three New York bases
Our Westchester base covers the White Plains corridor and the Connecticut line. Greenwich, Stamford and the rest of Fairfield County are a short repositioning flight or a van ride away.
Republic is our Long Island workhorse, the busiest general aviation field in the region, and the base most Nassau and western Suffolk owners bring their aircraft to for scheduled inspections.
MacArthur puts us alongside commercial and charter traffic in central Suffolk, with room for larger airframes and easy access from the Islip and Ronkonkoma area.
Heavy Metal Air has bases of operation at Westchester County Airport (HPN) in West Harrison/White Plains and Republic Airport (FRG) in Farmingdale. Beyond our three hangars, our mobile crews respond across the New York metropolitan area: Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Nassau and Suffolk counties, New York City, northern New Jersey and southwestern Connecticut. If your aircraft is down at a field we don't sit on, call us anyway.
