At UberJets powered by Virtual Hangar®, our mission is to provide aircraft owners with the most seamless, tech-forward private aviation experience—both in the air and on the ground. That’s why Virtual Hangar® is proud to recognize Big Sky Aviation as a standout maintenance and service partner for our aircraft owners and a valuable part of our expanding network of Virtual Hangar® Approved Operator Partners.
Big Sky’s commitment to operational excellence, communication, and reduced downtime directly supports our promise to aircraft owners: maximize aircraft availability, improve revenue potential, and deliver unmatched support throughout the ownership journey.
A Strategic Partner for Virtual Hangar Aircraft Owners
Aircraft owners who list on the Virtual Hangar® platform benefit from real-time exposure to charter demand, intelligent AI-powered flight matching, and frictionless booking tools. But delivering top-tier service requires more than just technology—it requires trusted partners on the ground. That’s where Big Sky Aviation comes in.
Their recently opened 40,000 sq. ft. maintenance facility at KPIE (St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport) is already setting a new standard. Located in one of the busiest corridors for private aviation, Big Sky’s positioning enables faster turnarounds, fewer ferrying costs, and less downtime for our aircraft owners.
Big Sky’s Role with Virtual Hangar®
Big Sky Aviation plays a key role in supporting the high standards aircraft owners expect when listing on Virtual Hangar®. Their dedication to minimizing downtime, offering transparent communication, and maintaining aircraft at peak performance aligns perfectly with our mission. By partnering with Big Sky, Virtual Hangar® is giving aircraft owners access to a maintenance team that understands the urgency of uptime and the value of dependable service—whether for personal use or charter readiness.
Real Impact, Real Results
Since launching the new KPIE facility, Big Sky has reduced scheduled maintenance downtime by 20%—a game-changing figure for owners who rely on their aircraft to generate revenue or meet tight personal/business travel timelines
Their AOG (Aircraft on Ground) mobile response team has also rescued numerous critical missions—keeping owners on track for business meetings, family visits, and charter bookings that would otherwise be lost.
Why UberJets powered by Virtual Hangar®, Values Big Sky Aviation

Family-Owned Integrity: Founded in 2000, Big Sky operates with a personal, transparent approach.
Owner-Focused Philosophy: Every decision is made with aircraft owners’ best interests in mind—from flexible scheduling to proactive support
Virtual Hangar® is more than just a platform—it’s driven by strategic relationships that support aircraft owners at every stage. Big Sky Aviation exemplifies the type of maintenance partner that aligns with these values. For aircraft owners seeking to minimize downtime, enhance charter potential, and work with a service team that truly understands private aviation, Big Sky Aviation is a name worth knowing.
