About Us

35+ years at the same field.

Built by aviators, for aviators. Personal service that big chain FBOs can't replicate.

Our History

A specialist you can bet your aircraft on.

Midwest Aero, Inc. was founded in 1990 and has been the trusted FBO and maintenance provider at Illinois Valley Regional Airport (KVYS) ever since. We service everything from small piston aircraft to turbine-powered jets and helicopters.

We have technicians with formal training on Beech King Air, Citation Jets, Twin Cessnas and Diamond aircraft, Teledyne Continental, Continental Diesel, Lycoming engines, and Robinson Helicopters.

We're easy to reach, easy to work with, and we treat every aircraft like it's our own.
