“I am thrilled to begin this new phase of our company,” said Max Lyons, owner and president of Hillsboro Aviation and chairman of Helicopter Association International. “Our new facility allows us to expand our sales/service and contract/charter operations while continuing to enhance our market position. This new phase allows us to improve our ability to serve the needs of our dynamic customer base, offering services from FBO, executive charter, aircraft and parts sales to overhaul services and avionics installations.”

The property is on the Portland-Hillsboro Airport (KHIO), home to Nike founder Phil Knight’s hangar and near Intel’s largest chip manufacturing plant.
