Overview

In November of 1997, Scott began his studies at Utah State University in Logan, Utah and received a job as a lineman at the local FBO. He became qualified as a private pilot and then flight instructor and quickly moved up the ranks to site manager and chief flight instructor for four locations. In 2004 he took out a small business loan and purchased the struggling Logan operation from his employers. He is the owner of a company made up of thirty-five employees that operates a highly successful FBO offering line services, aircraft maintenance, and flight training to 100 full and part-time students.

Scott and his family have succeeded in creating and retaining customers from local communities and limited market segments, even where his predecessors have failed. Where customers have left due to inadequate service, he has been able to bring them back to the airport, establishing positive relationships while continuing to increase revenue by attracting new business from outside the area. The Leading Edge Aviation business model incorporates hard goal-based sales objectives with community values, always with the big picture in mind — that this is a general aviation FBO, where every employee has to have a passion for aviation and an inherent desire to serve their customers.

Leading Edge Aviation’s mission is to consistently deliver the highest quality services, and to provide the general aviation community with exceptional and innovative customer service and education.
