We've grown well beyond where we started.

The original four aircraft types were just the beginning. Under new leadership, Haggan Aviation has expanded its authorizations, capabilities, and fleet coverage significantly.

The Founding Story
HOW IT ALL STARTED

Founded at Centennial Airport in 1996, Haggan Aviation began with a focus on dependable maintenance for business aircraft.

What started as a shop serving Learjets, Citations, Hawkers, and Falcons has grown into a full-service FAA Part 145 repair station supporting owners and operators across a broad range of aircraft and maintenance needs.

Today, Haggan Aviation is led by a new generation of aviation professionals while building on nearly three decades of hands-on experience at KAPA. The focus remains clear: skilled workmanship, responsive communication, and maintenance completed with care for the aircraft, its mission, and the people who rely on it.
