FBOs
Atlantic Closes Doors at Ontario

Atlantic Aviation has closed its FBO at Southern California’s Ontario International Airport (ONT). The company had been operating on a short-term holdover arrangement since its lease expired in late 2011, while it pondered the future of its location at the airport.

According to an airport spokesman, the economic downturn over the past several years had caused general aviation traffic to drop off to the point that the field could realistically support only one FBO, leaving Guardian Jet Center the lone aviation services provider at the airport. Several non-FBO businesses are currently negotiating leases for parts of the former Atlantic facility with landlord Los Angeles World Airports.
