Levaero Aviation celebrates 25 years
Canada's authorised Pilatus sales and service centre, Levaero Aviation has been in business for 25 years. Countless customers have trusted the team with the process of buying and selling over that time.
President and CEO Robert Arnone is planning several major announcements over this anniversary year.

Levaero Aviation is celebrating its 25 year anniversary as a leading Canadian business aviation provider. Headquartered in Thunder Bay, Ontario with a national sales centre in Toronto, Ontario, Levaero specialises in aircraft sales, aircraft MRO, as well as various other aviation solutions for its base of Canadian and international clientele.

Founded in 1997 as the V Kelner Pilatus Centre, Levaero Aviation was instrumental in establishing the Swiss-manufactured Pilatus PC-12 aircraft as a stalwart in Canadian skies. With the introduction of the PC-24 Super Versatile Jet, the Pilatus brand is experiencing continued successful growth in the country.

When current company principals Robert Arnone and Steve Davey joined the company, they were among the first employees and worked in facilities barely able to accommodate one aircraft. However, it was the start of a trajectory of entrepreneurial teamwork and achievement.

Levaero Aviation employs more than 100, serving customers across Canada and around the world. COO and director of maintenance Davey says: “It is incredible that Levaero has been fortunate enough to attract such a dedicated group of employees exhibiting the highest level of customer service.”

President and CEO Arnone adds: “We are proud to be a part of the business aviation community as it is a privilege to contribute to the industry. We are also excited for the future growth we have planned.”
