Experiencing continued growth throughout 2018/19, Highland Aviation became a Part.145 Subpart F approved organisation, allowing the organisation to perform maintenance on a wider range of aircraft. Highland Aviation maintains nearly twenty aircraft.[citation needed] The organisation has received multiple awards for its flight experiences, including a 2019 Travel and Hospitality award.[citation needed]
