Oregon-based aviation services provider Leading Edge Jet Center (LEJC) has acquired Kenmore Aero Services, one of three FBOs at Seattle King County-Boeing Field International Airport (BFI). For LEJC, this marks its third location in the region beyond facilities at Oregon’s Roberts Field Airport in Redmond and Bend Municipal Airport.

The company already had a presence at BFI through its earlier purchase of a 37,000-sq-ft hangar, which can accommodate super-midsize business jets, and 23,000 sq ft of adjoining offices. It has plans to replace Kenmore’s 1970s-era, 4,000-sq-ft terminal, which sits on a six-acre leasehold located on the southeast corner of the field, with a new building triple its size and add 45,000 sq ft of new hangars capable of sheltering the latest large-cabin business jets. LEJC is currently working through the design and permitting process and hopes to break ground within a year on the new complex.
