The specialist MRO for
Hawker, Citation & Challenger
Founder-led, fast turnaround, transparent pricing. We only work on three airframe families — and we do it better than anyone.
Precise. Professional. Attentive.

Why PPA
Built by operators,
for operators.
Founders Tristan Noe and Travis Roberson came from the operator side — charter ops, maintenance management, and aircraft ownership. They built the MRO they wished existed as customers.
Narrow Specialization
Three airframe families. Every tool, part, and procedure optimized for Hawker, Citation, and Challenger.
Transparent Pricing
Detailed quotes upfront, clear scope documentation, proactive communication on any changes.
Documentation Quality
Audit-ready, thorough maintenance records on every work order. Your records protect your aircraft's value.
AOG Response

Strategic Location
30 minutes from DFW with significantly lower operating costs. Lower overhead means better value for you.
Founder Accountability
Tristan and Travis are on the floor across our three hangars, not in a corporate office. The owners answer the phone.
Leadership
The owners answer the phone.
Plane Place Aviation was founded by Tristan Noe and Travis Roberson — two operators who spent years on the customer side of the MRO relationship. They experienced the frustrations of unclear pricing, missed turnaround dates, and impersonal service firsthand.
They built PPA to be different: a specialist shop with operator-level understanding, transparent communication, and the accountability that comes from founders who are on the floor every day.
