Company Expands Its FBO Network Into Sioux City, Iowa

Expanding its FBO network, Hawthorne Global Aviation Services has acquired JetSun Aviation Center, a Sioux City, Iowa FBO at Sioux Gateway Airport (KSUX). 

The Sioux City FBO has more than 100,000 square feet of hangar space, a robust Part 145 Repair Station, extensive avionics capabilities, a large reception area, conference room, pilot's lounge and flight planning. In addition to FBO services, Sioux City will offer full maintenance and avionics services.

"The Sioux City FBO is a key addition to our growing FBO network, now with six FBOs located across the East Coast, Midwest and South," said Bryon Burbage, President and CEO of Hawthorne Global Aviation Services. "We pride ourselves on providing the highest level of service and our new Sioux City FBO will continue to deliver on this promise to our FBO customers."

NexPhase Capital ("NPC") and Hawthorne Corporation formed Hawthorne in 2010 to pursue an FBO acquisition strategy. NPC provides the company with strategic advice. Hawthorne Sioux City further expands the Hawthorne network that includes FBOs at Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip, NY (KISP), Cobb County International Airport in Atlanta, GA (KRYY), Chicago Executive Airport in Chicago, IL (KPWK), Chippewa Valley Regional Airport in Eau Claire, WI (KEAU) and Tuscaloosa Regional Airport in Tuscaloosa, AL (KTCL).
