Atlantic Aviation has been selected as the winner of the request-for-proposal process for a second FBO at Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). The Plano, Texas-based company, which owns 69 FBOs in the U.S., is slated to begin operations at the Utah gateway in December.

Under the terms of the agreement, Atlantic’s leasehold includes more than 17 acres of ground and ramp space along with four hangars. The company will operate temporarily out of the old sports terminal building, as it expects to break ground in next year's second quarter on a $25.5 million FBO complex that will include a new terminal and additional hangars, as well as a new fuel farm.

“We are very pleased to enter the Salt Lake City market,” said Atlantic Aviation CEO Lou Pepper. “Salt Lake is a dynamic and growing city and a great complement to the Atlantic network.” Since 2011, SLC has been served by one FBO when the two existing locations there were consolidated. That business was acquired by current service provider Tac Air the following year.
