Part 135 turboprop and light aircraft charter operator based at Truckee, California
Mountain Lion Aviation is a charter company based at Truckee Tahoe Airport in Truckee, California. It started charter operations in 2017, and AIN described it in 2021 as a Part 135 on-demand charter operator.
Its main business is on-demand charter for business travellers and families. Charter requests go through the company's charter email address or its online booking link. The same business also runs a Cirrus Certified Training Center, so it does flight training as well as charter.
The company's website lists a Pilatus PC-12 and a Cirrus SR22 under its aircraft. AIN's 2021 report also named a Daher TBM 940 and a Cirrus SR22 Turbo, so the fleet may have changed since then. With a single-engine turboprop and piston aircraft, the operation suits small groups on short and medium regional trips, not long-range jet travel.
In 2021 the company opened a second base at Fort Worth Alliance Airport in Texas. AIN reported flights to Texas cities such as Houston, Austin and San Antonio, and to destinations in neighbouring states, Colorado and Florida. The founder named in that report is Jim Wilkinson, who also chairs and leads TrailRunner International.
