West Star’s Houston Satellite is located at the Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport (formerly Lone Star Executive Airport) and is just 37 miles north of the central business district of Houston.

Satellite locations offer 24/7 on call AOG Mobile service, along with limited maintenance and avionics repairs. When necessary, satellite locations utilize resources from one of the four full service MRO facilities located at East Alton, IL (ALN), Grand Junction, CO (GJT), Chattanooga, TN (CHA), and Perryville, MO (PCD).

Our highly trained and experienced technicians at each satellite location can aid in troubleshooting problems and providing solutions that are best suited to get you back in the air as quickly as possible. When necessary, they can even assist in obtaining ferry permits if relocating your aircraft to one of our full service locations is necessary.
