Avflight has expanded its FBO chain with the addition of Falcon Executive Aviation, the lone full-service provider at Mesa, Arizona’s Falcon Field Airport.

While Falcon Executive Aviation will retain its maintenance, charter, and flight school operations, Avflight will take over the facility, which includes the 2,000-sq-ft terminal, a 15,000-sq-ft hangar and office building, a recently-built 12,000-sq-ft hangar, and a fuel farm that just completed a new storage tank replacement project. The location, branded by sister company Avfuel, offers 24-hour fueling, as well as Avtrip rewards.

Situated on the southern side of the field, the FBO will expand to a separate facility on the northern side, part of a larger aviation development project underway, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021.

That facility will feature a 5,000-sq-ft terminal with pilot and passenger lounges, snooze rooms, showers, kitchen, flight planning area, and conference room, rampside vehicle access, and an additional 11,000-sq-ft hangar with the potential for another 50,000 sq ft of hangar space, as needed.

“The addition of Avflight Mesa provides a strong presence for the Avflight network in a thriving southwestern U.S. market,” noted Garrett Hain, the company’s v-p of finance. ‘This strategic acquisition will connect Avflight’s loyal customer base to major businesses, entertainment, and tourism in the greater Phoenix region.”
