Customer Testimonials
What better way to get to know us than through our customers? Below you'll find feedback from some of the many clients we've worked with.
“Our RJ was purchased with the oversight of Gardner Aerospace. We were very pleased with Bernie’s work and decided to have him manage all of the RJ maintenance for the time that we owned it. We utilized various MRO’s to meet our operational needs and all of it was coordinated and managed by Bernie. We would recommend him without reservation!”
Rick Volosen, Chief Pilot, Cline Group
“We contracted with Bernie long before having our Global Express 120 month inspection done, charging him with the proposal process and overseeing the maintenance event. He solicited and vetted multiple proposals for the inspection and exterior paint, forcing the MRO’s to sharpen their pencils and saving us substantial money before we even put the aircraft down for the inspection. Shortly after starting we added an interior reburbishment to the package with little advance notice. Bernie negotiated favorable pricing for soft goods and veneer work with little impact to the scheduled out date and kept the service center on track for the duration. We continue to be in contact with Bernie regarding this aircraft and fully intend on using him for our pending aircraft search and acquisition.”
Efe Gures, Lead Captain, N123AB
“We purchased our first aircraft, a Challenger 300, and had Gardner Aerospace represent us for the pre-buy and due maintenance. It didn’t take us long to be reassured that Bernie was the correct choice for the job. He helped us define the prebuy inspection requirements and patiently walked us through countless technical questions that we had during the pre-buy. Having Bernie involved and on site greatly improved our comfort level during the entire process. I would highly recommend him.”

“We sold our Challenger 605 to a buyer represented by Bernie Gardner. His professional and levelheaded demeanor, along with his product knowledge and direct involvement, went a long way towards making it one of the most seamless transactions I’ve ever been involved with.”
Gustavo Andre Prato, Director of Operations, CL605 Holdings, LLC.
“Bernie’s efforts were invaluable! We used Gardner Aerospace Services to help us navigate through the long and challenging prepurchase package and sale of our Challenger. We appreciated his thorough communication, cost accounting and management, technical knowledge, and professional interaction with all the various parties involved in the transaction.”
Atil Karagoz, Executive Vice President, Polidev Investments, Inc.
“I have known Bernie Gardner for 30 years, working with him through multiple aviation scenarios and in all those instances I have found him to be an honest, thoroughly dedicated professional with a superb work ethic. He and I have negotiated a multitude of maintenance projects together. Throughout all that, Bernie has always been the quintessential technical director, guiding me through the best technical path and offering substantial advice on repairs as well as purchasing parts. His scheduling and coordinating skills are superb, getting everything accomplished during the aircraft’s downtime. Building lasting professional relationships in aviation is difficult at times due to the pressures of the maintenance task at hand and the many business factors, however, we have grown to trust each other over the years and in this industry that’s everything.”
Peter T. DiTore, Manager, Aircraft Maintenance, EAC AIR, L.L.C.
