W Aviation International (Booth C10321), which operates FBOs at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) in Florida and Simon Bolivar International Airport in Maiquetía, Venezuela, expects completion of its first-phase development at the Florida FBO campus by December.&nbsp;

 


On the company's nearly 8.5-acre leasehold at FXE, the first phase of the W Aviation development includes two 20,000-sq-ft hangars with 5,000 sq ft of office space and a 155,000-sq-ft airport parking apron expansion. The second phase, which is slated to begin next year, will add a two-story 24,000-sq-ft executive terminal and additional airport land for future expansion. Each hangar is built to host a variety of business aircraft, including a Gulfstream V that was recently added to the fleet of W Aviation International's sister company Windsor Jet Management.

 


“Our expanded ramp, new hangars and office space will allow for W Aviation to provide first-class aviation services to more domestic and international aircraft coming inbound to South Florida, along with the growth of long-term general aviation businesses at the airport,” said Windsor Jet owner and CEO Ignacio Martinez.

 


In addition to the newly added Gulfstream V, Windsor Jet Management hired Ricardo Farfan as director of maintenance. “He is the ideal leader to spearhead this department. He will further assist forward momentum for the company and support continued growth of the business," said Martinez, whose privately held companies—W Aviation, W Aviacion and Windsor Jet—provide aircraft services, management and brokerage services.

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
