Executive Flight Centre

Executive Flight Centre EFC Aviation provides a variety of fueling and airport services in the aviation industry.

EFC traces its roots back to 1946, to a fixed-base operation (FBO) in Calgary, Alta. In the early 1970s, it was purchased by Peter Bawden, an oil man who acquired a group of aviation-related companies, among them a commercial air charter service, a flying school and three leasing companies. In 1978, Ken Lett - an aviation icon who flew Spitfires for the RCAF in World War II, later climbing to the

rank of Major General while serving as the Deputy Chief of operations for NORAD - came to Calgary to manage Peter Bawden's aviation assets. In 1989, Dean Buckland joined the organization in an accounting role which expanded to Vice President of Finance. A few years later, Ken and Dean partnered to purchase the business from the Estate of Peter Bawden. It was through their leadership and vision that Executive Flight Centre has broadened their network to operate out of 19 strategic locations throughout Western Canada and has increased their product offering to include Airport/Aerodrome services and real estate projects through EFC Developments Ltd.

On this Remembrance Day, we take a moment to reflect on the resilience, courage, and compassion of those who have served.
Their stories continue to guide our collective spirit. We also remember Major-General Ken Lett, a World War II veteran and former Executive Flight Centre Chairman, whose legacy lives on in our company and our hearts.
Lest we forget. 🌹

We’re proud to support the return of Pacific Coastal Airlines to the Canadian Rockies International Airport (YXC) ✈️✨

The airline is once again connecting Cranbrook and the East Kootenay region with daily service to Kelowna (YLW). This route strengthens regional air access across British Columbia, making travel between the Okanagan, Kootenays, and beyond more convenient than ever.

As part of our partnership with Pacific Coastal Airlines, we are proud to play a part in supporting this important connection for business, leisure, and community travel across the BC region. Welcome back, Pacific Coastal Airlines! 🙌

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to reflect on the lasting impacts of residential schools and to honour Survivors, their families, and Indigenous communities.

We are especially grateful for the relationships we’ve built with Indigenous partners, including our joint venture with Mikisew Group and our ongoing connections with the Haisla and Tahltan Nations. These partnerships continue to guide us in taking meaningful steps toward reconciliation. 🪶
