A Vision for Aviation Excellence
When Pat Rhodes took over what is now East West Aircrafters in 2016, he saw an opportunity to build something Hawai‘i had never had before—a full-service Part 145 Repair Station with a strong focus on avionics, expert maintenance, and a reliable parts supply. With decades of experience in avionics, maintenance, and aviation operations, he built EWA around two simple but powerful principles:
Put people before profits.
We won’t push a service or part on you if there’s a better, more affordable option elsewhere. We aim to provide honest solutions that keep you flying safely and efficiently.
Do the job right.
We refuse to cut corners. Your aircraft’s safety and performance depend on precision and expertise; we bring both to every job.
