About Us

30+ Years Flying America's Pipelines

Built by pilots, for pipeline operators. When you call us, you talk to Scott — not a call center.

Our Story

A specialist you can bet your compliance record on.

Midwest Avtech started in the Illinois Valley in Peru, Illinois — and grew from there. Built on one principle: pipeline operators deserve an aerial inspection partner they can actually trust. For three decades, we've answered that call — logging thousands of pipeline miles in every corner of the United States.

Our pilots aren't contractors who happen to fly. They're seasoned aviators with deep experience in low-altitude pipeline operations, trained observers, and the kind of judgment you only get from years in the cockpit.

Operating from three strategic US locations, we deploy quickly — for a scheduled survey or an emergency response. And we work the way pipeline operations actually work: around your deadlines, your audits, and your weather windows.
