North Star Aviation caters to travelers: Bitterroot Valley business serves fliers from around the country

When people fly into the Bitterroot Valley, it’s Leland Blatter’s job to make sure they enjoy their stop. It isn’t as simple as it sounds.

Blatter, owner of North Star Aviation http://www.northstaraviation.net/ in Hamilton, had his hands full last week. When he wasn’t answering multiple phone calls, he was helping an airplane mechanic find the right tools to fix a jet on the tarmac. At the same time, he had to send one of his employees on a hurried mission to pick up an urgently needed package for a client, and give directions to a crew that was busy remodeling his front office at the Ravalli County Airport. On top of all that, he was on the radio to an incoming airplane giving weather updates, paying bills and conducting an interview with a reporter.

Such is a day in the life of Blatter, who bought North Star Aviation a year ago after running a similar company in Glasgow.
