Atlantic Aviation increased its footprint in California with the acquisition of the Premier Jet FBO at McClellan-Palomar Airport (CRQ) in Carlsbad. For the Macquarie Investments-owned service provider chain, this latest addition brings its total number of locations in the U.S. to 69, including 10 in the Golden State alone.

The 15-acre facility, one of four FBOs at CRQ, has 131,000 sq ft of hangar space capable of accommodating ultra-long-range business jets. Its 10,000-sq-ft terminal features a 16-seat conference room with a large balcony with seating that overlooks the San Diego-area airport, offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and distant mountains.

“Carlsbad is a perfect complement to our already strong presence in the California market,” said Atlantic CEO Lou Pepper. “This remarkable, pristine facility is a proud addition to the Atlantic family of FBOs.”
