Ross Aviation Acquires Six Former Landmark FBOs, Joins Avfuel-Branded Network

DENVER, Colo. / July 1, 2016 / GENERAL AVIATION NEWS – 

Ross Aviation has acquired the ownership and operation of six former Landmark Aviation FBOs, adding strategic locations to Avfuel’s branded network in Anchorage, Alaska (PANC); Fresno, Calif. (KFAT); Palm Springs, Calif. (KTRM); Scottsdale, Ariz. (KSDL); Washington, D.C. (KIAD); and White Plains, N.Y. (KHPN).

Ross Aviation’s executive team brings more than 100 years of experience to each location, partnering with trusted local management at every FBO. Ross Aviation is well known for its superior customer service, with a particular emphasis on a philosophy that embraced the uniqueness of each airport and FBO market. The company also firmly supports a decentralized system whereby managers are granted authority and responsibility to operate and optimize their business based upon the unique circumstances of each specific location. This decentralized approach coupled with strong relationships with the local airport authorities at each airfield should ensure a seamless transition upon acquisition for its customers as wells as long term success for the businesses.

“We’re excited to once again serve general aviation customers with the acquisition of these six FBOs and our new partnership with Avfuel Corporation,” said Ross Aviation President and CEO, Jeff Ross. “We’re working with a great team across the country dedicated to providing better services and a more competitive product.”
