Spring City Aviation adds a 360 to its all-King Air charter lineup
by MeLinda Schnyder
What started as a one-aircraft, father-and- son operated flight school in Waukesha, Wisconsin, 25 years ago is now a full service aviation company with 50 employees across three southeastern Wisconsin locations.
Beyond flight training, Spring City Aviation offers maintenance on all types of general aviation airplanes, FBO services, aircraft sales, aircraft management and an all-King Air charter operation.
The Behrens family had steadily grown their business over the years, then in December 2016 they nearly doubled the number of employees with the acquisition of a regional competitor. Taking over the operations of Milwaukee-based Gran-Aire Inc. was the jump-start to moving Spring City Aviation’s charter operation to an exclusively Beechcraft King Air fleet.
Despite nearly three months of little activity during the early part of the pandemic, the remainder of the year more than made up for that lost business. Spring City Aviation has added employees, purchased a 2020 King Ranch special edition King Air 360 and soon will add a 2006 King Air 350.
