JetEXE Acquires Lancair

Passing the Torch

Sacramento, California-based JetEXE Aviation has acquired storied kit-aircraft concern Lancair—henceforth Lancair Aerospace. The deal heralds the advent of a new and promising age for Lancair, one of the kit-plane sector’s most storied, unique, and enduring marques.

JetEXE Aviation founder and CEO Captain Augustine Joseph—a retired Indian Air Force wing commander with over forty-years of military and commercial aviation experience—stated: “As we embark on this exciting journey of growth and expansion, our compass points steadfastly toward the future. With an unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional customer service, technical support, and advanced aircraft models for our customers, we look forward to navigating the skies of innovation and shaping the future of aviation for generations to come.”

JetEXE Aviation is a global aviation-industry business conglomerate comprising an FAA Part 145 certified repair station offering aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services, flight-training under Part 141 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, aviation education, aerospace research and development, aircraft fleet management, and aircraft sales. The company serves, also, as the prime provider for the California state government flight departments, the U.S. Civil Air Patrol, and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

Renowned for sleek and innovative airframe designs rendered in highly-advanced composites, Lancair aircraft have garnered multiple awards over the company’s four-plus-decades in business—to include multiple victories at the world-famous Reno Air Races.

In addition to general aviation and racing-focused machines. Lancair, since its 1981 founding, has provisioned world militaries and governments with training and special-mission aircraft.

To date, the global community of Lancair aircraft owners comprises thousands of members who’ve logged, in the aggregate, hundreds-of-thousands of flight-hours in 14 Lancair models and variants thereof.

Captain Joseph remarked: “There is no other aviation community or group as passionate and professional about aviation and safety than the Lancair aircraft owners ‘LOBO,’ and we are here to fully support them. As Lancair Aerospace prepares for the transition, the Lancair International, TX team is working diligently and expeditiously to ensure a smooth and efficient transition process.”

Former Lancair International co-owner Mark Huffstutler set forth: “We are dedicated to providing all necessary support and assistance to ensure a seamless transition and continued satisfaction of Lancair aircraft owners. Roxanne Zavala and HL Hensley, who are pivotal in the customer support process, will ensure this.”

Lancair Aerospace has extended its heartfelt appreciation to former owners Mark and Conrad Huffstutler, whose contributions to the Lancair brand include the development and promotion of the Mako and the Barracuda—Lancair’s latest aircraft models.

By dint of their passion for aviation, leadership, and commitment to excellence and innovation, the Huffstutlers contributed significantly to Lancair’s growth and expanding global market-share.

Under JetEXE Aviation, Lancair Aerospace will carry on the tradition of design and customer support excellence long synonymous with the Lancair name.
