Hawthorne Global Plans Growth Strategy

While Hawthorne Global Aviation might be one of the newest FBO brands in the field, in its DNA it is also one of the oldest. The Hawthorne name has been involved in aviation since the early 1930s and the company’s chain of service locations was purchased in 1998 by the Carlyle Group to form the bones of what is now Landmark Aviation. Hawthorne existed as a holding company until the return of several industry veterans who were involved with the company during its FBO ownership days. They decided to jump back into the aviation services arena and set about the process of building a new chain of locations, backed by private-equity firm Moelis Capital Partners.
