Jet Aviation to operate FBO at Van Nuys Airport

Jet Aviation was awarded a 30-year lease for a 17-acre site by the City of Los Angeles to establish an FBO facility at Van Nuys Airport. In 2015, Jet Aviation won a competitive tender process and was selected by Los Angeles World Airports to operate a FBO facility at Van Nuys Airport. Jet Aviation will offer FBO services in an interim terminal once operational control has been granted by Los Angeles World Airports, which is expected in the next few months. Jet Aviation has also initiated planning for its long-term Van Nuys Airport FBO. The company will build a 10,000 ft² LEED Silver certified FBO terminal and two 40,000 ft² hangars and associated back shop and office space, all to be completed by the end of 2018. The full service FBO will offer domestic and international handling, complete line service, executive conference rooms, crew lounge, flight planning room, business center and 24/7 guarded entry to the airport and ramp. In addition, Michael McDaniel has been appointed as the FBO director for Jet Aviation Van Nuys reporting to John Langevin, VP of FBO Operations North America.
