Acquisition Expands North American Network To 43 Sites

Landmark Aviation announced Thursday the finalization of its acquisition of Skyport, the full-service business aviation FBO at New York's Westchester County Airport (HPN).

"The addition of Landmark Aviation to the current FBO operators and corporate jet entities will enhance operations at the Westchester County Airport," said Salvatore J. Carrera, Westchester County Director of Real Estate. "We welcome Landmark and the services that it will provide to clients."

"With the closure of this acquisition, Landmark Aviation expands the maintenance, repair and FBO services we offer aircraft owners and operators throughout the New York City area and Northeast United States," said Landmark Aviation CEO Roger Wolfe. "Landmark's FBO services at Skyport include fuel, lounges, hangar space, light airframe and engine maintenance, deicing, oxygen, and aircraft interior and exterior cleaning. Landmark will continue to invest in the facility to make Skyport a world-class FBO."

The operation will also serve as a base for Landmark's Mobile Service Team of technicians, available 24/7 for repairs on-site at the aircraft, Wolfe said. Landmark MSTs are fully operational, and support customer maintenance needs in the Northeast US -- eliminating the need for the customer to fly to the maintenance location.

Terms of the Skyport agreement between Landmark Aviation -- formerly known as Garrett/Piedmont Hawthorne/Associated, and previous Skyport owner Jet Equity were not disclosed.
