Sheltair has acquired U.S. Jet Center, one of two service providers at Texas’ Denton Enterprise Airport (KDTO). For the Florida-based FBO chain, this marks its 15th base, its first presence in Texas, and just its second west of the Mississippi.
The facility is open from 6 am until 10 pm with after-hours callouts available. It includes a 5,700-sq-ft terminal with a passenger lounge and refreshment bar, concierge, conference room, pilot lounge, and snooze rooms, flight planning area, crew cars, and onsite car rental. It has more than 200,000 sq ft of hangar space including a dozen corporate hangars which can accommodate aircraft up to a Gulfstream G650.
“The acquisition of our newest location is a testament to Sheltair’s commitment to expanding west and serving the general aviation community beyond the East Coast,” explained company president and CEO Lisa Holland. “We look forward to supporting the continued economic growth of the Denton community and providing the nation’s leading general aviation services and amenities.”
The entire staff and management team of the facility will be retained including general manager Jay Robinson, who added that he has been a customer at other Sheltair locations. “My experiences leave no doubt that Sheltair’s acquisition of U.S. Jet Center promises to elevate the personal service our customers have come to expect,” he said.
