Acquisition Expands Landmark's Engine and Avionics Maintenance,
Repair & Overhaul Network
Landmark Aviation has acquired
Corporate Jets Inc., of Scottsdale, Ariz., - a full service
business aviation fixed base operation (FBO) and aircraft
maintenance, sales and charter operation at the Scottsdale Airport
(SDL).
"Scottsdale is a strategic acquisition for Landmark Aviation in
a key market, expanding our maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO)
and FBO network throughout North America," said Roger Wolfe, Chief
Executive Officer, Landmark Aviation.
"This operation offers 24-hour service, including aircraft
maintenance, charter, sales and management - as well as being an
authorized service center for Learjet and Cirrus.
"The FBO is an authorized service center for Pratt & Whitney
and Honeywell aircraft engines, providing Landmark customers with
an additional avionics, engine and airframe maintenance location in
the United States," Wolfe said.
Scottsdale will also be a base for a
Landmark Mobile Service Team of technicians, available 24/7 to
travel to aircraft requiring repairs and providing on-site
service.
Landmark Aviation's Scottsdale location also has Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 135 charter operation
authorization, with worldwide authority. Aircraft under charter at
Scottsdale include a Global Express, Challenger 300 and 604,
Learjet 35 and 36, and Pilatus. The operation also has a Learjet
55, which is undergoing a conformity inspection and will be
available soon. The facility additionally manages a Gulfstream 550
and two King Air 200 aircraft. A new Citation CJ2 is scheduled for
delivery in May.
Full FBO services are available at Scottsdale, including fuel,
pilot lounge, crew cars, catering, oxygen, and aircraft interior
and exterior cleaning. The operation offers 87,000 square feet of
hangar space and four executive hangars.
The facility is on more than five acres of land and has more
than 10,000 square feet of space dedicated to aircraft maintenance
hangars. It has 13,000 square feet of office and customer space.
Terms of the agreement between Landmark Aviation and Corporate Jets
Inc. were not disclosed. Possession of the facility by Landmark
Aviation will commence immediately, Wolfe said.
In January Landmark Aviation announced completion of an
acquisition from Jet Equity of the Skyport FBO at the Westchester
County Airport (HPN) in New York.
