Galaxy Aviation: Florida chain looks beyond state lines

Galaxy Aviation is, for now, a small regional FBO chain with five bases in Florida and ambitions to extend the company’s brand of family-atmosphere customer service to locations in other parts of the U.S.

The chain started in the early 1980s when pilot,tax attorney and real estate developer Martin Greenberg bought Boca Aviation at Boca Raton Airport. In 1994 the company purchased a second FBO, at Witham Field Airport in Stuart, Fla. When the Signature Flight Support facility at West Palm Beach International Airport became available in 1997, the budding chain, named Galaxy Aviation, bought that FBO, followed by a facility at Orlando International Airport in 2002 and finally early last year the former Aero Sport FBO at St. Augustine Airport south of Jacksonville, Fla.
