Volo Adds Tampa Location
Skyport Holdings Purchased the FBO services operated by Leading Edge and selected Volo to run the facility.
Volo Aviation now operates six FBOs, having recently acquired the Leading Edge Aviation Services FBO at Tampa Executive. The company has plans to offer “aggressive pricing” to attract operators to the airport, which it sees as a strong market.

Connecticut-based Volo Aviation has been chosen to manage the FBO at Tampa Executive Airport (VDF) in Florida and brand it as the latest facility in the growing chain. Formerly Leading Edge Aviation Services, the FBO services at the location (Leading Edge still operates an aircraft dealership and maintenance shop at the site) were purchased by Skyport Holdings, an investment company affiliated with Volo. “We see a strong local demand for services in the Tampa area,” said Brian Ciambra, Skyport president and CEO and Volo senior vice president for FBO operations. “VDF was losing business to surrounding airports in the area because of its uncompetitive pricing. Volo Aviation will quickly introduce aggressive pricing schedules at Tampa Executive that we hope will serve to re-engage our tenant base and attract traffic and business back to the airport.”
