Special Services Corporation

Special Services Corporation (SSC) is an aviation company based at Greenville Downtown Airport (KGMU) in Greenville, South Carolina. Its official website describes the business as custom flight service management, and aviation press coverage describes it as a charter, maintenance and aircraft management company.

SSC holds a FAR Part 135 air operator certificate, according to an operator listing that records the certificate as first issued in November 1999. That listing names Eric A. Groves as chief executive and director of operations. Greenville Downtown Airport also lists SSC among the charter and air taxi providers on the field.

Beyond charter, the company manages aircraft for owners and runs a maintenance operation. Flying magazine reported in December 2023 that a fire at the SSC hangar at KGMU destroyed four aircraft: two from the SSC charter fleet and two customer aircraft that were in for maintenance. The specific aircraft types currently available for charter were not confirmed for this profile.

Flyers considering SSC can expect an operator with its own certificate rather than a broker, with management and maintenance handled in house at its Greenville base. Fleet details and the status of hangar rebuilding after the 2023 fire are worth confirming directly with the company.
