FBO Profile: Sheltair JFK
The FBO at New York’s JFK was operated under the control of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for the last 64 years. That changed in October, with Sheltair taking over the facility with the goal of delivering the high level of service operators and private aviation travelers demand.

Last October, for the first time in its 64-year existence, the FBO at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport came under private control as Sheltair took over management from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ). The Florida-based chain operates 13 other FBOs, including six in New York State alone. It was awarded the JFK location after the PANYNJ issued a request for proposals that attracted more than a half-dozen contenders, according to the agency. In the end, Sheltair’s experience operating the FBO at La Guardia–New York City’s other commercial airport–since 2004 may have tilted the balance in its favor.
