Orlando, FL, August 19, 2026
Fortbrand Services is excited to announce the expansion of its maintenance operations serving the Greater Orlando aviation community at Orlando International Airport (MCO). Fortbrand established its MCO maintenance operation three years ago to support customers utilizing the company’s Full-Service Lease programs. What began as a smaller operation on Tradeport Drive has continued to grow alongside customer demand, leading Fortbrand to significantly expand its local facility, team, and service capabilities. As part of the expansion, Fortbrand has tripled its shop footprint and significantly increased its MCO-based team. The expanded operation brings together experienced aviation and ground support equipment professionals with decades of industry knowledge and hands-on experience supporting the demands of airport operations.
Fortbrand now provides seven-day-a-week maintenance coverage at MCO from an on-airport facility with direct access to the Airport Operations Area (AOA). This access allows the team to respond quickly to urgent equipment needs while also supporting customers’ routine maintenance and service requirements. The expanded facility strengthens Fortbrand’s ability to provide comprehensive GSE maintenance and support while continuing to grow its Full-Service Leasing and Fleet Management capabilities throughout the Greater Orlando aviation community. Fortbrand’s Full-Service Lease programs are designed to go beyond equipment acquisition by providing ongoing maintenance, service, and operational support throughout the life of the lease. Through its Fleet Management capabilities, Fortbrand works closely with customers to help maintain equipment availability, manage fleet requirements, and support the day-to-day demands of ground operations. The MCO expansion reflects Fortbrand’s continued focus on being closely integrated with its customers’ operations and providing the responsive, reliable support required in demanding airport environments. Fortbrand has supported ground support equipment and airport maintenance equipment operations since 1983, serving passenger airlines, ground handlers, airports, air cargo carriers, and fixed-base operators with equipment, leasing, fleet management, maintenance, parts, and service solutions tailored to operational needs.
