Company History
Western Aircraft began as the corporate flight department for the Morrison Knudsen Corporation (MK), headquartered in Boise, Idaho, over 60 years ago. In 1957, MK responded to an overwhelming need for aircraft repair services by applying for and receiving its first FAA Certified Repair Station Certificate. During the 1980's, three more hangars were added, and the company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Morrison Knudsen Corporation incorporated under the name of Western Aircraft Inc.
In 1995, Al Hilde, Jr. and Allen Hoyt purchased the company from Morrison Knudson. Over the next 12 years, the company became the world's largest PC-12 dealer and also became an Authorized Falcon Service Center among other things. In July 2007, the company was purchased by Greenwich AeroGroup. Through the Greenwich AeroGroup we have an affiliation with Atlantic Aero, Summit Aviation, and Banner Aerospace. On-going improvements and investments in people, training, tooling, technology and facilities have helped us to offer our customers personalized service and unsurpassed technical expertise.
