Bismarck Aero Center

General information

Bismarck Aero Center is a growing aviation company that prides itself on providing premier aviation services in Bismarck, North Dakota and the surrounding region.

AMS (Aircraft Management Services) was founded in 1990 by Bob Simmers and specialized in aviation consulting, specialized flight training, aircraft storage and pilot services.

In 2002, Bob partnered half of the business with Mike Aarestad to expand the operations to include aircraft maintenance and repair. In addition, we now offer overnight and long term heated hangar, flight instruction, aircraft sales, brokering, and flight department management.

Then in 2006, we continuted to diversify our services by forming a subsidary titled Dakota Avionics. We received our Limited Repair Station Certification from the FAA and now offer avionics sales. Our maintenance department is well equipped to handle all aircraft maintenance and avionics needs from stick and fabric to high flying turbine powered and jet aircraft.

Our biggest change came in 2008, when we became Bismarck's newest full service FBO! With this came many exciting changes, one being a name change and we became Bismarck Aero Center. We offer JetA and 100LL fuel, pilots lounge, courtesy cars, concierge services, fast turnarounds and other amenities. We still take pride in providing #1 customer service, adding 24/7 certified NATA staff and red carpet service when you visit us!
