About Aero Inspection & Repair
Aero Inspection & Repair (AIR) is an FAA Part 145 repair station based at Billings Logan International Airport (KBIL) in Billings, Montana. We do inspections, maintenance and repairs out of our own hangar, and we work on a wide range of aircraft, from single-engine pistons up through light and medium jets. If it flies into Billings and needs work, there's a good chance it ends up in our shop.
