Sawyer Aviation

Sawyer Aviation is an aviation company headquartered at Scottsdale Airpark in Arizona. Its history goes back to 1961, when Darrell Sawyer started a flight school at Phoenix Deer Valley Airport; the business later took the Sawyer Aviation name as it added charter flying.

A January 2023 business profile reports that Chad Verdaglio has owned and led the company since 2002. The same profile lists private jet charter, medical flight charter, aircraft management and sales, and round-the-clock maintenance through a division called SawyerMX, added in 2021.

According to that profile, the company added operations at Van Nuys Airport in early 2021 and completed roughly 50,000 square feet of new hangar and office space at Scottsdale Airpark in early 2022. Its fleet grew through a shared aircraft management programme, though the article does not give aircraft types or numbers.

Sawyer Aviation appeared on the 2022 Inc. 5000 list of fast-growing private companies. Flyers wanting details of the operating certificate, current fleet or safety audits should ask the company directly, as these were not confirmed during research.
