In what would be the largest acquisition in the history of the general aviation service industry, not to mention a substantial wager on the continuing resurgence of business aviation, Signature Flight Support parent company BBA Aviation announced on September 23 that it will purchase Landmark Aviation from investment fund manager The Carlyle Group for $2.065 billion. Included in the deal are Landmark’s 68 FBOs in North America and Europe and its MRO business, as well as its aircraft charter and management division, which would give BBA its first involvement in that segment.
