Long Term Contract For FBO At San Diego International
The Airport Authority Board at San Diego International Airport
(KSAN) has awarded a 37-year lease to Landmark Aviation to operate
an FBO at San Diego International Airport. Landmark, which acquired
Jimsair Aviation Services, Inc. in July of 2008, is the current FBO
operator on the field.
“We have enjoyed working with the San Diego Airport
Authority over the past four years, and we are excited to continue
that relationship,” stated Dan Bucaro, President and CEO of
Landmark. “We have also developed some great relationships
within the San Diego community, and look forward to continuing our
involvement there as well. San Diego International is an important
field for general aviation. Retaining it within the Landmark
network continues our focus on such high quality
markets.”
Under the new agreement, Landmark will design, build and operate
a new FBO, with a 20,000 square foot terminal, a 250,000 square
foot ramp and five hangars on 12.4 acres of airfield. The new FBO
building is required to achieve LEED Silver certification from the
US Green Building Council. However, Landmark has committed to
achieve LEED Platinum certification, the highest possible
rating.
“This award marks an exciting moment for San Diego’s
aviation community,” said Thella F. Bowens, President/CEO of
the Airport Authority. “The new FBO will be a beautiful
addition to our airport. We have had a wonderful experience working
with Landmark, and look forward to many more years of
partnership.”
In 2011 Landmark added eleven locations to its growing network,
including key markets such as Miami, Atlanta, Tampa and Oakland,
bringing the total number of Landmark Aviation FBOs to 52.
