Canada-based aviation services provider Skyservice announced it has purchased a majority interest in Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (KOPF) FBO Fontainebleau Aviation. It follows the company’s recent expansion into the U.S. and will bring the Skyservice brand to 13 locations in North America once the deal is approved by regulators.

According to Skyservice president and CEO Benjamin Murray, South Florida is the top destination for Skyservice’s managed fleet. This acquisition, which is expected to close in the next 30 days, will represent the Toronto-based company’s first foothold in the Southeast U.S.
