Ross Aviation has expanded its FBO network into the British West Indies with the acquisition of Island Air and its two FBOs at Owens Roberts International Airport on Grand Cayman, and Charles Kirkconnell International Airport on Cayman Brac. The facilities join the Ross family of 11 FBOs that stretch from Alaska to New York.

In operation for more than three decades, Island Air’s FBO on Grand Cayman features a terminal with pilot lounge, located next to the general aviation customs and immigration arrival building. The facility also has a 12,000-sq-ft hangar and offers aircraft maintenance.

As is typical for Ross Aviation, the Island Air FBOs will retain their existing name. “We are excited to become part of the Ross Aviation network, and our customers can expect the same excellent, consistent customer service in the future as they have enjoyed in years past,” said Marcus Cumber, who will remain managing director and partner, overseeing the locations' daily operations.

“The Cayman Islands are well known for their superior resorts, the famous Seven-Mile Beach, superb restaurants, and international banking institutions,” said Ross president and CEO Jeff Ross. “We are pleased to partner with an FBO with excellent customer service in a vibrant and growing leisure destination.”
