About

Who we are

Founded by a pilot, staffed by pilots, driven by a single standard: safety first, always.

Built by pilots, for operators.

Lugh Aviation was founded to fill a gap that every maintenance organization knows well: finding a qualified, available pilot when you need one should not be the hardest part of the job.

Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we provide helicopter pilot services across the continental United States. Our founder, an experienced commercial pilot, built this company on the understanding that maintenance organizations and Part 91 operators need more than just a warm body in the cockpit.

We serve 14 CFR Part 145 repair stations, Part 91 operators, and aviation companies that require qualified, safety-focused pilots for short-term, recurring, or specialized assignments. Every pilot we dispatch is current, insured, and rigorously vetted.
