Since transitioning to a civil facility in April 2011, Brunswick Executive Airport (BXM) in Maine has seen steady growth in general and business aviation activities. Nowhere is that better illustrated than by its FBO, FlightLevel Aviation. The FBO, which has occupied a portion of a pre-existing building from the start of the airport’s civil operations, plans to move into a new purpose-built site by late spring. Meanwhile, its current space, although less than ideal, is adequately providing customers with what they need.
“Our current space is basic and minimal,” FlightLevel Aviation president Peter Eichleay told AIN. “We’re effectively a 4,000-square-foot office that’s been converted to an FBO terminal. We’ve outfitted the space with a customer service desk, pilot lounge, flight-planning room and a few offices for our flight school and mechanic tenants.” It adjoins 170,000-sq-ft Hangar 6, which FlightLevel currently shares with Kestrel Aircraft (developer of a turboprop single) and Tempus Jets (an MRO new to BXM). “While we’ll have more space in the new terminal, more important, it will provide customers much better airside accessibility and visibility,” he said.
