About Us

For over 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.

Today, MAC Air Group – now a part of Black Forest Ventures Aviation Portfolio –  is a world-class company providing aviation services globally with the same consistent focus on quality, reliability and safety. Al & Alysan Caruso’s younger son, Travis is still the company’s director of maintenance.

“Our success is a result of our dedication to total customer satisfaction as our number one business objective,” said Al Caruso. “Our broad range of services and capabilities permit us to offer a full complement of professional support.”
