AirQuest Aviation takes the middle man out of your air travel.

AirQuest, which is based at the Butler County Airport, gives you the ability to travel to your exact destination without connecting flights or long lines. It has an on-demand charter service that allows you to maximize your productivity, to do more in less time, and to allow your business to grow.

It also provides aircraft management as well as plane sales and acquisitions. It has the fixed base operator services at the airport such as ground support, concierge services and flight school.

In 2009, improvements were completed with updates made to the main lobby and waiting areas, flight school training room, pilot prep stations and other areas. A new 22,000-square-foot hangar was opened housing the maintenance facility, along with space for an aircraft hangar.

New programs are being finalized including a Part 141 Flight Training program which will enhance the curriculum and opportunities for those seeking different levels of pilot certification licensure. By offering new programs and initiatives, AirQuest Aviation hopes to continue enhancing its position as the region's premier aircraft services provider.

The goal of AirQuest, which has 35 employees, is to provide the safest means of travel that services our customers' needs, providing stable growth opportunities for our team members and enabling optimal benefit to our stakeholders.

The company and its team members enjoy working in the community on projects including the 2010 Cub Scout Klondike Derby at which more than 1,200 children and parents enjoyed outdoor activities like cross-country skiing, games and races and indoor presentations by the Civil Air Patrol and the National Guard.

The annual Warbird Experience will be presented in June with World War II aircraft on display including a B-25 bomber, P-51 Mustang, T-6 Texan, and P-47 Thunderbolt to tour as well as flight school information, food and games for the entire family.
