FBO operator Avflight has expanded its network with the addition of US Aviation Services, the lone service provider at Mississippi’s Hattiesburg/Laurel Regional Airport (KPIB). The facility includes a 4,000-sq-ft terminal with passenger and pilot lounges and 125,000 sq ft of hangar space that can accommodate aircraft up to a Gulfstream G550. Avflight will retain the location’s existing staff to ensure service continuity.

With its 6,500-foot runway, KPIB sees a mix of cargo, military, sports charters, business, and commercial traffic, and for Avflight—a sister company to Avfuel—this marks the 26th location in its mainly U.S. FBO network and its second in Mississippi, joining Golden Triangle Regional Airport (KGTR) in Columbus, where it also operates the sole FBO.

“This acquisition not only expands our geographic reach but also reinforces our dedication to serving general aviation operations at key locations across North America,” said company v-p of finance and treasurer Garrett Hain. “The Avflight team is proud to support the Hattiesburg community as its new gateway for visitors, contributing to the region’s economic growth.”
