What we do

Everything an aircraft needs on one field

Fuel

We sell 100LL and Jet-A on the field and handle the ramp work that goes with it, so you can plan a fuel stop at KPTK without arranging it through anyone else.

Maintenance

Our repair station maintains piston, turboprop and turbine aircraft, from scheduled inspections through squawks found during a stop.

Avionics

We plan and install panel upgrades, and troubleshoot existing systems, as an authorized Garmin service center.

Parts

We source components for work on the field and coordinate repairs and exchanges with manufacturers on behalf of owners.

Heated hangars

Heated hangar space is available on the field for based and transient aircraft through a Michigan winter.

Office space

Office space on the airport suits flight departments and aviation businesses that want to sit next to their aircraft.

Aircraft painting

We coordinate strip-and-repaint work and the inspection and corrosion findings that surface once an aircraft is stripped.
