SC Aviation grows Midwest footprint with acquisition of Heartland Aviation

SC Aviation plans to place additional aircraft at Heartland's Eau Claire, Wisconsin location in the coming months. 

SC Aviation has acquired Wisconsin-based aircraft management, charter and maintenance provider Heartland Aviation. 

The deal expands SC Aviation’s footprint across western Wisconsin and the Minneapolis–St. Paul region, while enhancing its capabilities throughout the Upper Midwest US.

“We’re excited to welcome Heartland Aviation’s team and customers into the SC Aviation family,” said Adam Singer, vice president and general manager of SC Aviation. “Heartland Aviation has built a strong reputation in the Eau Claire region, and this acquisition allows us to combine that local expertise with SC Aviation’s resources and network to better serve our customers throughout the Upper Midwest.” 

Following the acquisition, Heartland Aviation will continue operating under its current name. The operator specialises in flying Bombardier Challenger 605s and Cessna Citation VIIs. 

Nick Fancher, president and CEO, Heartland Aviation said: “Heartland Aviation has been built on relationships, and when I looked at who could give this operation the best platform to grow, SC Aviation was the clear answer. We share the same commitment to doing things right and the same vision for what aviation in this region can become. I am proud of what this team has built, and I look forward to continuing to work with SC Aviation to grow and expand.”

SC Aviation plans to invest in expanded services by adding additional aircraft at the Eau Claire location in the coming months. 

“Our long-term vision is to unite the strengths of both organisations to create an even stronger aviation company,” Singer added. “In the near term, our focus is on preserving the exceptional service Heartland customers expect while investing in the future growth of the company.”
