About Aero Air
Aero Air has been operating at Portland-Hillsboro Airport since 1956 and is the only FBO in the Portland metropolitan area staffed around the clock, 365 days a year. The facility features over 105,000 square feet of heated hangar space across multiple buildings, enough to accommodate a wide range of aircraft from turboprops through large-cabin jets. As an FAA Class IV Certified Repair Station, Aero Air offers on-site maintenance, avionics installation and repair, aircraft detailing, charter operations, aircraft management, and sales. The FBO is part of the Paragon Aviation Network, which connects independent FBOs that meet elevated service standards. Passenger amenities include pilot lounges, flight planning rooms, and a concierge team that can arrange on-site rental cars through Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise, along with special pricing at area hotels and catering services. The airport is located 13 miles west of downtown Portland, with straightforward highway access that avoids much of the city's traffic congestion. Hillsboro itself is in the heart of Oregon's Silicon Forest, home to Intel's largest campus and numerous tech companies. The airport has two runways, and its position as Oregon's second-busiest airport reflects the volume of corporate and general aviation activity in the region. For charter passengers visiting Portland, Hillsboro offers a quieter alternative to Portland International with shorter taxi times and a more personalized arrival. The Willamette Valley wine country is about 30 minutes south, and the Oregon coast is roughly 90 minutes west.
