Founded in 1982 by pilot Ken Smith. The company operated out of a small hangar with our history of services through a parts yard, offering used parts sales, salvage, aircraft sales, brokerage and storage.
Upper Valley Aviation Ltd.
(UVA) was founded
In the early 1990s, UVA purchased a second, larger hanger and began offering aircraft maintenance and painting services.
UVA begins offering
services
Avionics, interior and structural services were added in 2002. By 2004, demand for aircraft painting had increased to the point that a dedicated paint shop was warranted, resulting in the “East Hanger,” another 9,600 foot facility.
Growth and new
frontiers
In 2017 our company decided to move into the aircraft charter business and in 2019 we received our Transport Canada approvals to operate.
