Activity among the service provider chains over the past few months suggests the FBO consolidation kettle is steaming again and whistling loudly. Last month, Atlantic Aviation, which previously had no Florida FBOs, made a big splash with the announcement of its $195 million acquisition of Galaxy Aviation. Atlantic added four of Galaxy’s Florida FBOs: at Orlando International, Northeast Florida Regional Airport in St. Augustine, Witham Field Airport in Stuart and Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach. The chain also added Galaxy’s FBO in Colorado ski country, at Yampa Valley Airport in Hayden. That, along with the Macquarie Infrastructure subsidiary’s recent purchase of Hangar Ten Aviation Services at Kansas City Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport, will push the company’s network to 68 locations nationwide.
