Lynx FBO has increased its network with the acquisition of Northstar Aviation, the lone service provider at Providence, Rhode Island’s Theodore Francis Green State Airport (PVD). The acquisition gives Lynx its ninth FBO location in the U.S., and its second in the Northeast along with Morristown, N.J.

The facility has a recently remodeled 10,000-sq-ft terminal that offers a pilot lounge, snooze room, showers, business center, three large conference rooms, courtesy cars, and onsite car rental.

"We are excited to further expand the Lynx FBO Network in the Northeast U.S., and Providence will greatly enhance our East Coast presence,” said Lynx president and partner Chad Farischon. “We look forward to working with the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, the local FBO team, and all stakeholders in continuing the great partnership Northstar Aviation has established over their tenure of over 30 years at the airport."

Lynx’s growth is backed by private equity firm The Sterling Group, which noted that the Rhode Island capital gateway FBO was a key part of the company's plans.

"Providence is a strategic location for Lynx that has been a top priority target for years," said Sterling Group partner Greg Elliott. "Our team's ability to get this across the finish line during Covid shows our commitment and ability to continue to expand our network in any environment."
