Skyservice Business Aviation Boosts Vancouver Presence with London Aviation Centre Hangar Acquisition

Skyservice Business Aviation Inc., a prominent North American leader in the aviation sector, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire the London Aviation Centre hangar facility at Vancouver International Airport (YVR). This strategic move is set to expand Skyservice's Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services and fortify its market leadership in Vancouver.

Expansion at Vancouver International Airport: The acquisition, expected to close in early November, will add a significant 64,000 square feet of hangar space to Skyservice's Vancouver FBO. The new facility boasts 44-foot hangar doors capable of accommodating large jetliners, including the Boeing 737 BBJ MAX and Airbus ACJ series aircraft. This expansion reflects Skyservice's commitment to meeting the growing demands of business aviation in the region.

A Commitment to Excellence: Benjamin Murray, President and CEO of Skyservice, emphasized the company's dedication to safety and service excellence, stating, "Our ongoing investment in the region reflects our unwavering commitment to our clients." The new facility not only offers additional hangar space but also includes 12,000 square feet of office space available for lease.

Enhancing West Coast Operations: Skyservice plans to enhance its West Coast maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations by integrating its services into the London Aviation Centre facility. This move aims to provide Vancouver-based clients with a comprehensive aviation experience under a single trusted brand.

A Valued Partnership with YVR: Michael Chubb, Director of Commercial Development at YVR, acknowledged Skyservice as a valued partner and expressed enthusiasm for the continued collaboration to establish Vancouver as a regional business aviation hub. He also extended gratitude to London Air Services for their contributions to the local community and businesses.

Recognition and Expansion: Skyservice Vancouver was recently honored as "Best Western Canada FBO" in Wings Magazine's Best Canada FBO Awards survey, highlighting the company's commitment to service excellence. Additionally, Skyservice's recent investment in Fontainebleau Aviation's properties in southern Florida marks its growing footprint, with the company set to own and operate 13 FBOs and six MRO facilities across North America.
