In the heart of the picturesque Mountain West stands a mammoth institution of aircraft services – Western Aircraft, Inc. Founded and based in Boise, Idaho, our journey in business aviation began in the late 1930s. Today, we are heralded, not just in the United States, but also among international aircraft operators for both our capabilities, and our quality of service.
The Evolution of Excellence
Tracing back to the era when MK Aviation, our original identity, operated a fleet of DC-3s as the corporate flight department for Morrison Knudsen Corporation, our ethos of dedicated service was ingrained. As early as 1957, we were among the pioneers in the western U.S. to receive the FAA Repair Station Certificate. Through the years, we morphed into Western Aircraft when we became an independent aviation services company in 1983. Since then, we have continually developed our spectrum of services and skills.
A Customer-Centric Approach
You might wonder: why would operators from diverse regions prefer Western Aircraft over other big-name MROs? The essence lies in our origins. Born out of a corporate flight department, we've nurtured a deep understanding of what operators seek - elite MRO capabilities, blended with a personal touch in customer service.
We are an authorized service center for esteemed brands like Dassault Falcon, Embraer, Pilatus, Daher (Kodiak) and Piper aircraft. And now, with expanded capabilities to service Citations and Gulfstreams, we’ve prepared ourselves to meet customer needs for many years to come.
Diverse and Precise Offerings
Our offerings are revered and cater to a myriad of customer needs - be it major structural repairs, avionics services, interior modifications or routine maintenance. Whether you need a routine inspection, cabin refurbishment or a complete wing de-mate, we execute these projects with a finesse that comes from years of dedication. Our team ensures that every task, big or small, is conducted with undivided attention to detail, living up to the expectations that accompany our revered name.
Expanding Capabilities
Our most recent 93,000 square foot hangar addition, broadening our MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul) capabilities is more than just metal and concrete; it’s a solid testament to our relentless quest for providing top-notch services. And that minted hangar space isn’t just a room of colossal dimensions; It's a place where innovative tools pair with experts who embody proficiency and warmth in service.
The Boutique MRO Experience
You see, the tale of our expansion isn’t about growing big; it’s about growing smart, growing right. We pride ourselves on being a special kind of aircraft repair and maintenance shop, known as a boutique MRO, with extensive experience servicing a wide variety of aircraft. We create custom plans and offer friendly, personalized service, always putting our customers first. Over time, we've grown from a small local shop to a dependable, easy-to-reach, and affordable place for all kinds of aircraft, from small turboprop planes to big jets, making us stand out from others.
Our facility is in a beautiful area, just minutes away from fun outdoor activities like whitewater rafting, fishing, hiking, and backpacking. So, your experience with us goes beyond just getting your aircraft fixed.
Building Trust and Satisfaction
Many places can say you are valued, but at Western Aircraft, relationships are cherished. We see beyond transactional interactions. Our clientele from across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe aren’t just a roster of names but a testament to the bond of trust and satisfaction we’ve cultivated over the years.
Transparent and Engaging Service
And here, you can easily come in and see your aircraft and talk directly to the people working on it. We focus on giving you a great experience, using our strong skills and deep knowledge to bring back the kind of service where you can have real conversations and direct access to what's happening with your aircraft.
