Adding aircraft management and aircraft sales services, TWC Aviation relocated in 2001 to Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California. The move positioned the company in the lucrative Greater Los Angeles market, serving clients throughout Southern California. In 2002, TWC Aviation acquired Corporate Aircraft Technical Services, an FAA Part 145 Repair Station.〔(FAA Part 145 Repair Station )〕〔“Greg Paxson - Director of Maintenance, TWC Aviation,” ''Director of Maintenance Magazine'', October 1, 2011 ()〕 This enabled the company to offer FAA-certified aircraft maintenance and repair services. By 2008, TWC Aviation was serving charter and management clients nationwide, and had outgrown the Burbank facility. The company moved to a new custom-built operations center and hangar complex at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles,〔“TWC Relocates to Van Nuys,” by Jennifer Harrington, ''Aviation International News'', November 2008 ()〕 one of the world’s busiest commercial aviation airports.
