About AER Operations

Professional aviation services, done right.

AER Operations LLC is a licensed commercial aviation services company serving clients across the United States — operating both uncrewed aircraft and crewed fixed-wing aircraft. We deliver aerial data, imagery, and pilot services that ground-level solutions simply can't provide.

Who We Are

Based in Ohio.
Flying nationwide.

AER Operations LLC is a commercial aviation services company built on a foundation of technical expertise, operational discipline, and a commitment to delivering results that move your business forward — across both uncrewed and crewed aircraft operations.

Based in Worthington, Ohio, we serve clients locally across Central Ohio and deploy nationally for projects that require our expertise. Every flight is planned, piloted, and delivered in-house — no subcontractors, no surprises.

From a single real estate listing shoot to a cross-country aircraft ferry, we approach every project with the same level of preparation, professionalism, and precision.
