Fontainebleau Aviation Launches New FBO in Fort Lauderdale

Fontainebleau Aviation, a subsidiary of Skyservice Business Aviation, alongside Fontainebleau Development, has officially opened its second private jet center in South Florida, located at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). This new Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) marks the beginning of a transformative phase in private aviation services, catering to both leisure and business travelers.

Benjamin Murray, President and CEO of Skyservice, expressed pride in the collaboration with Fontainebleau, indicating that this partnership redefines the standards and expectations in the aviation sector. He stated, "We are focused on meeting the evolving needs of our clients, offering a fresh direction with our exceptional luxury lifestyle business aviation experience."

The FBO boasts an impressive 80,000 square feet of hangar space alongside a luxurious 25,000-square-foot lobby and office area. Additionally, it features an executive suite equipped with advanced audiovisual technology, ready to accommodate meetings for up to 20 participants. This facility is designed to cater to the largest business jets in operation today and is now open for hangar leases and FBO reservations.

Jeffrey Soffer, Chairman and CEO of Fontainebleau Development, emphasized their commitment to providing a world-class travel experience. He remarked, "Our goal is to ensure a unique and premier journey for our guests, and the Fort Lauderdale FBO has set a new standard for luxury private travel." He highlighted that partnering with Skyservice was a natural choice due to their renowned service and strong safety record, aligning perfectly with Fontainebleau Aviation's commitment to excellence.

Mark Gale, CEO of the Broward County Aviation Department, shared enthusiasm about the addition of Fontainebleau Aviation to FLL's fixed-base operators. He mentioned that this new facility's premium flight services would elevate FLL's status within the luxury business aviation sector.
