Welcome to Northern Skies Aviation

Northern Skies Aviation is located at the Laurel Municipal Airport – 6S8.  We are just a short flight or drive from Billings, MT and offer our services and expertise to those interested in air charter services, airplane flight training, helicopter flight training, and our full service maintenance facilities.

We are nestled right near the foothills of the Beartooth Mountain Range and offer scenic flights over the Rocky Mountains.  Travel over Montana’s highest mountain elevation – Granite Peak, or take an aerial cruise over the Beartooth Highway and view Montana’s beautiful glaciers and deep mountain blue lakes.

Our charter department flies a twin engine Cessna 340 and a 414 aircraft.  We also have a Bell Jet Ranger that is ready for aerial work.

We are a FAA and VA approved Pilot Training School with a PCATD Flight Simulator
Sign up for an introductory ‘learn to fly’ training session in a Cessna 172 and Cessna 172 RG or learn how to fly a helicopter in our Schweitzer 300C.  Want to add a helicopter rating to your fixed wing license?  Sign up for turbine training in our Bell Jet Ranger; getting started is easier than you might think!  Financing Available – Contact us to get started!
