Turboprop performance specialist The Blackhawk Group has acquired Silver Sky Aviation in a transaction the former says “provides a tremendous opportunity to expand [its] support of Alaskan aviation.” The purchase of Silver Sky’s facility in Wasilla, Alaska, will add specialized service capabilities to Blackhawk’s network. Specifically, Silver Sky’s accreditation as an authorized service center for Cessna Caravan and Daher Kodiak turboprops “will accelerate capability expansion,” Blackhawk said.
The Blackhawk Group noted that Alaska has “seen significant growth in turboprop operations” due to their range, speed, payload, and ability to operate in cold-weather environments. Silver Sky is one of the few facilities in Alaska capable of supporting a demand that Blackhawk CEO Chad Cundiff recognises as “a lifeline for operators in the region.”
