What is employee ownership?
Employee ownership means that the people who do the work also share in the rewards. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), each of us earns shares in the company over time. As the company grows, so does the value of those shares, creating wealth, opportunity, and a secure future that we build together.
What does employee ownership mean at Heritage Aviation?
Heritage Aviation has always been guided by a deep commitment to people, purpose, and community. In 2015, we strengthened that commitment by becoming a 100% employee-owned company, giving every employee a true stake in our success and a voice in shaping our future. This transition reinforced our belief that when employees are also owners, they bring an even greater level of pride, accountability, and care to their work.
At Heritage Aviation, the future isn’t something that happens to us, it’s something we create together. As a 100% employee-owned company, every person here is more than an employee; we’re owners, invested in each other’s success and in the strength of our company for years to come.
When you join Heritage, you’re not just starting a job, you’re stepping into a community where your contributions matter and your impact lasts. Every decision, every customer interaction, and every improvement fuels not just our business, but also the long-term value we all share.
What is an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)?
At Heritage Aviation, employee ownership means building wealth equity together. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), eligible employees earn an ownership stake in the company simply by being part of the team. There are no out-of-pocket costs or personal contributions. Ownership is earned through your work, your time, and your commitment.
Each year, shares are allocated to employee owners based on their compensation relative to the whole team. As the company grows, the value of those shares grows too, creating a tangible connection between our collective success and your personal financial growth. Stock is valued annually, ensuring that every owner sees the real impact of their contributions. The value of the benefit will be paid to you when you retire.
This model of shared equity gives everyone a direct stake in the future we’re building. It creates not only financial opportunity but also accountability, pride, and a culture where every decision matters. At Heritage Aviation, wealth equity through employee ownership empowers us to celebrate our successes together and strengthen the community we proudly call home.
Heritage Aviation practices Open-Book Management. What does that mean?
Heritage Aviation strives to create a business of “business people” who think and act like business owners. Open-book management is a way of running a company that engages employees in making money. Employees learn to understand the economics of business. They track and forecast key numbers. They figure out how to move those numbers in the right direction, and they share in the rewards of better performance. Open-book management nearly always improves near-term financial results. Companies register as much as a 30% increase in productivity and profitability when practicing open-book management.
What is a Vermont Benefits Corporation?
Heritage Aviation is more than a business—we are part of a global movement of companies using business as a force for good. As a Certified B Corporation, we meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This certification is not just a label; it reflects our deep commitment to balancing profit with purpose.
For us, being a B Corp means every decision is made with intention. From reducing our environmental impact with sustainable aviation practices to investing in our people and our community, we hold ourselves accountable to values that go beyond the bottom line. It’s about creating shared success for our employee owners, our customers, our neighbors, and our planet.
Choosing a career at Heritage means joining a company where business goals and community values go hand in hand. You’ll be part of an organization that believes success is measured not only by financial results but also by the positive impact we create together.
Why was Heritage Aviation voted one of Vermont’s Best Places to Work 10 consecutive years in a row?
Our culture of ownership and purpose has also been recognized locally. Heritage Aviation has been named one of the Best Places to Work in Vermont for ten consecutive years, a testament to the dedication of our people and the strength of our values.
At Heritage Aviation, our history is one of shared ownership, responsible leadership, and an unwavering commitment to Service, Safety, and Community.
How does Heritage Aviation care for the community around them?
At Heritage Aviation, our values of Service, Safety, and Community are not just words on a wall. They guide how we work, how we live, and how we give back. As a 100% employee-owned company, we know that our strength lies in the people around us, and we take pride in investing our time, energy, and resources into the communities we call home.
Our employee-owners receive paid time to volunteer with organizations that change lives in meaningful ways. We build homes alongside Habitat for Humanity, inspire future innovators through FIRSTinVT Robotics, deliver firewood to families in need with Wood4Good, and support children and families through Camp Ta-Kum-Ta. We also come together at events such as Pulling for a Cause, the Awesome Open, and the 19th Col. Alan J. LeClair Golf Tournament, where teamwork and camaraderie fuel support for important causes.
Heritage Aviation is equally dedicated to supporting the next generation of aviation professionals. We partner with Burlington Technical Center and Vermont State University to provide students with opportunities to explore and grow in aviation careers. Through these partnerships, as well as our collaboration with Women in Aviation International, the Vermont National Guard, and the Military Skills Bridge Program, we help ensure that the future of aviation is diverse, inclusive, and full of opportunity.
We are also proud to lead by example in sustainability. As New England’s first provider of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), we set a precedent for environmental responsibility and continue to pursue initiatives that support a more sustainable future for aviation.
What makes these efforts powerful is the spirit behind them. As employee-owners, we don’t see community engagement as an obligation. It is part of who we are. Every act of service, every initiative, and every partnership reflects a shared belief that aviation can connect people, strengthen communities, and leave a lasting impact.
Through volunteerism, education, sustainability, and industry leadership, Heritage Aviation strives to build stronger communities today while ensuring a future we can all be proud to own.
What support does Heritage Aviation offer for personal and career growth and development?
At Heritage Aviation, we believe that investing in our people is investing in our future. As a 100% employee-owned company, we are committed to creating opportunities for every employee owner to learn, grow, and succeed.
Our tuition reimbursement program supports continued education, giving you the chance to expand your knowledge and advance your career. We also provide high-end training experiences such as aircraft-specific General Familiarization (GENFAM) technical training, FAA and OSHA safety compliance training, leadership development programs, business and personal finance training, and customized customer service training designed to elevate skills at every level of the organization.
Professional growth at Heritage goes beyond technical skills. As employee owners, our team participates in national and regional thought-leadership opportunities, including The ESOP Association, the National Center for Employee Ownership, and the Vermont Employee Ownership Center conferences and educational activities. These experiences connect us with peers, expand our expertise, and strengthen our voice in the larger employee ownership community.
