Growing FBO chain Modern Aviation announced a blockbuster acquisition today with the purchase of American Aero FTW, a highly-rated aircraft service provider at Dallas-area Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (KFTW). For Modern—backed by Apollo Funds and Tiger Infrastructure Investments—this represents its first FBO in Texas and brings its network to 17 locations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
The American Aero facility—which opened in 2017—has been a perennial standout in AIN’s annual FBO survey, tallying the world’s second-highest score in this year’s edition. It features an 8,600-sq-ft terminal with a wide array of technological features aimed at improving the comfort and efficiency of its customers. Among these features are self-tinting windows to dampen the glare from the harsh Texas sun, white noise speakers embedded in the walls of the lobby to improve privacy, a high-speed dishwasher, and a soundproof door on the pilot’s lounge to facilitate rest.
