By General Aviation News Staff · January 6, 2021 ·

Leading Edge Jet Center has acquired Exec Air Montana, an FBO at Helena Regional Airport (KHLN) in Helena, Montana. The acquisition also includes Montana Medical Transport, a regional provider of air medical transport services.

Exec Air is the sole FBO at the Helena Regional Airport. In addition to its FBO, it offers air ambulance and aircraft maintenance services to a diversified customer base, including aerial firefighting, the Montana National Guard, and airlines.

“We are delighted to announce the expansion of Leading Edge Jet Center’s network into a new region of the United States in partnership with John Maxness and Dan Norhton,” said Steven Levesque, Leading Edge Jet Center’s Chief Executive Officer. “With their combined industry experience, both as the founders of EAM and as residents of Helena, we are happy to welcome them to LEJC, continuing with the team they created to keep customers safe and connected.”

The new owners will work with the FBO’s current management team to support future upgrades and initiatives at the Helena Regional Airport to meet growing customer demand, according to company officials.

Leading Edge Jet Center, founded in 2005, provides business aviation and jet fueling services at the Redmond and Bend Airports in Central Oregon, and King County International Airport-Boeing Field in Seattle, Washington.
