Skyservice Business Aviation has commenced
Fixed-Base Operations (FBO) at Vancouver International Airport
(YVR).
The FBO offers a multi-level passenger
lounge with views of the Pacific Mountain Range, three
heated hangars and a 175,000 sqft ramp space capable of
accommodating aircraft like the Global 7500/8000 and Gulfstream
700/800s.
The Vancouver facility will offer the same comforts and
amenities as Skyservice’s other FBOs once
renovations are complete.
“We are delighted to welcome customers
to our newest FBO facility,” said Benjamin Murray, President,
and CEO of Skyservice. “Vancouver is an essential hub for Canadian
commerce and recreation and a key location for our clients. We
intend to make further investments at the airport, including
expanding our hangar footprint, providing on-site maintenance,
repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities, and operating
sustainability initiatives.”
Skyservice Vancouver is the
company’s eleventh FBO and sixth World Fuel Air
Elite location in Canada, providing extensive ground handling,
fueling and hangarage services, along with bespoke customer
service, aircraft management and private jet charter services.
The company operates two additional locations dedicated solely to
MRO services in Muskoka, Ontario, and Montreal, Quebec, and is
expanding into Napa, California. Skyservice is also constructing an
new private jet center in Seattle, Washington that will replace
its existing facility.
“We are thrilled to announce our
expanded relationship with Skyservice, a trusted leader in
aviation services. Our new agreement marks an important milestone
in our growth strategy, allowing us to invest and expand with Skyservice at Vancouver Airport,” said Malcolm Hawkins,
Senior Vice President at World Fuel Services. “As an essential location
in the World Fuel Network, Skyservice’s membership in Air Elite
and commitment to providing the highest standard of service will
allow us to deliver exceptional experiences to our flight
department cardholders. We look forward to working together to
provide unparalleled service and solutions to general and business
aircraft operators.”
