Western Airways, LLC

Western Airways, LLC is an aircraft maintenance and avionics company based at Sugar Land Regional Airport in Sugar Land, Texas. The company works on private aircraft and aircraft owned by operators. Its site also lists aircraft management and aircraft sales and acquisitions as services.

The company was started in 1974 by Captain George A. Dodge, who is named as President and Founder. He began with a single-engine Piper Cherokee Six. The site says he flew passengers and cargo to airports that airlines often could not reach. The business later added aircraft, pilots and maintenance staff.

The site says the business grew into a private air charter company in the south-central United States. It moved from Andrau Airpark to Sugar Land Regional Airport after Andrau closed in 1998. Construction of a two-hangar facility began there in 2000. The site says the company later grew to four large hangars with more than 85,000 square feet of space.

The maintenance department works as an FAA Part 145 repair station. The site says it works to standards higher than the minimum the rules require. Services listed include scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, full avionics installations, upgrades and service. The company is an authorized dealer for Garmin and for Gogo Business Aviation WiFi.

A recent news item says the repair station received validation to service aircraft registered in Mexico. The site also lists aircraft management and sales pages, so owners can get help with buying, selling and running an aircraft.

The contact page lists a freephone number, (800) 373-0896, and a local number, (281) 565-9700. It also lists a fax line and a contact form. The company's social pages include Facebook and X.
