The three FBOs located at Canada’s Vancouver International Airport each managed hundreds of operations during the 2010 Winter Olympics. The airport experienced its “busiest day in history” when general aviation travelers departed after the February 28 closing ceremonies, according to Scott Harrold, general manager of Landmark Aviation’s Vancouver FBO. “It was quite an experience,” he said. “It will always live with me and our team.”

Harrold and his colleagues spent two years preparing for the influx of traffic and at one point had reservations for 600 movements. During the final days of the event, Landmark handled nearly 150 departing aircraft.
