Hawthorne Global Adds Another FBO

Hawthorne Global Aviation Services has acquired a second FBO in its bid to establish a network. The South Carolina-based company, which has an 80-year heritage in aviation, purchased a controlling interest in the recently renovated Aeropremier facility at New Orleans Lakefront Airport and will rebrand it as a Hawthorne location. Earlier this year, Hawthorne acquired the Excelaire FBO at MacArthur Airport on Long Island, N.Y.
