FBOs
Jeff Ross Climbs the Mountain Again
Less than two years after he sold off his 19-location FBO chain, Ross Aviation rises again.

Less than two years after selling off his 19-location FBO chain to Landmark Aviation (which was then acquired by Signature Flight Support this past February), Jeffrey Ross is back in the FBO game. As part of Signature’s absorption of Landmark, the U.S. Department of Justice required the BBA Aviation subsidiary to divest six FBOs in places where it already had facilities. Those six locations were packaged by BBA and purchased by KSL Capital Partners, a private-equity firm specializing in luxury leisure and travel companies, which tapped Ross to lead them as a reconstituted Ross Aviation.
