Landmark Moves In at OAK and Launches New Mobile App
Landmark's mobile app

Landmark Aviation made its Bay Area debut last month at Oakland International Airport. The new site occupies Hangar 5 and half of hangar 3 on the airport’s North Field, which was formerly part of Kaiser Air’s FBO until its lease on those facilities expired.

Landmark spent $350,000 on an interior renovation of the 5,350-sq-ft executive terminal, which includes passenger and pilot lounges, a snooze room, shower facilities, computer workstation with WSI, a wireless Internet café and executive conference room with interior paint, a new ceiling, flooring, furniture and equipment.

The company said it has spent nearly $100 million over the past 12 months in acquisitions and upgrades to its network.

The Houston-based FBO chain has released Landmark Connect, its application for the Apple iPhone and iPad that provides customers with a directory of services, amenities and contact information for all the locations in its network.

The app also provides runway maps, current weather conditions and direct-dial features for the more than 50 Landmark FBOs. The product will be soon available for Android and BlackBerry smartphone platforms as well.
