Meridian has expanded its Teterboro, N.J.-based aviation services company all the way across the country, with this month's opening of its second FBO, located at California’s Hayward Executive Airport. The Epic Fuels-branded location is the second service provider at the San Francisco Bay Area airfield. It features a 6,300-sq-ft terminal and office building, with a passenger lobby offering a lounge, coffee bar, business center, conference room, pilot lounge equipped with recliners, a snooze room, pilot briefing room, shower and locker facilities, kitchen, on site car rental and crew cars.
The $10 million facility, which will also serve as a West Coast base for the company’s charter management fleet, has a 30,000-sq-ft hangar capable of sheltering the latest class of ultra-long-range business jets and 3.5 acres of ramp. Aircraft maintenance support is available as the location has a full-time licensed A&P mechanic to service Meridian’s charter aircraft as well as transients.
