Cessna has selected Hillsboro
Aviation (HAI) as its only authorized dealer in Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Montana for Cessna Caravan turbo-prop airplanes. HAI is
also an authorized dealer for all Cessna single engine piston
planes for all of Oregon and Southwest Washington with additional
shared sales territory for Northwest and Eastern Washington, and
Northern Idaho. "Hillsboro Aviation fit the bill because of its
excellent reputation as a reliable, quality conscious,
service-oriented company," said John Doman, Cessna's Vice
President, Propeller Aircraft Sales.
When Cessna Caravans first took to the skies more than 20 years
ago, their popularity took off, too. Today the single-engine
turbo-props operate in more than 70 countries around the world. To
date, Caravans have flown more than 5.6 million flight hours
(nearly one billion miles or 2,000 round trips to the moon).
Every month, Caravans log more than 30,000 hours of flight time,
primarily for cargo hauling, but also for personal transport,
paramilitary campaigns, police surveillance, geological surveys,
bush, and amphibious operations.
New Caravans feature state-of-the-art avionics packages that
provide pilots with near real-time textual and graphical weather
information, a traffic surveillance and warning system, and a
terrain awareness and warning system.
"The Caravan has proven itself to be one of the most reliable,
versatile, and cost-effective airplanes ever built," said Max
Lyons, president of Hillsboro Aviation. "We are pleased and honored
to be selected as the Caravan Authorized Sales Representative in
our region."
Hillsboro Aviation, Inc. (HAI) is the largest full-service
small-aircraft aviation company in Oregon, and one of the largest
in the U.S. Since its founding in 1980, the company has grown to
more than 100 employees and operates the largest flight school in
the Pacific Northwest.
HAI is the only authorized dealer for Cessna Caravan single
engine turbo-prop planes for the Northwestern U.S. (Idaho, Montana,
Oregon, and Washington) and for single engine Cessnas in Oregon and
SW Washington, with additional shared sales territories for
Northwestern and Eastern Washington, and Northern Idaho. HAI is
also the exclusive dealer for Bell Helicopters in Oregon and
Washington.
In addition to aircraft sales, Hillsboro Aviation offers
aircraft charters, contract helicopter services, line service and
full maintenance, refueling, avionics parts sales and an aviator's
store, which is open to the public. The company is located at the
Hillsboro Airport, which serves suburban Portland, Oregon.
