Canadian aviation services provider Chartright Air Group has added a second FBO to its lineup with the opening of a facility at the greater Toronto-area Region of Waterloo International Airport (CYKF).
The newest member of the Air Elite FBO network, the Hangar 64 facility at Waterloo provides a terminal with a VIP lounge for private aircraft passengers, seating area for corporate shuttle service passengers, crew lounge, 10-seat conference room, concierge, kitchen with complimentary refreshments, crew car, and customs service. In-house aircraft maintenance service is also available.
Along with 150,000 sq ft of ramp—including a designated medevac area—the complex also features 100,000 sq ft of hangar space capable of sheltering aircraft up to a Boeing 767. As part of the facility, the World Fuel Services-supplied company, which also provides airline fueling, built a 47,550-gallon (180,000 liter) fuel farm.
Chartright operates a charter fleet of nearly 40 aircraft ranging from the Bombardier Global 7500 to a Leonardo AW109SP helicopter. It established its first FBO at Ontario entry-port Lake Simcoe Regional Airport.
“This expansion represents a significant milestone for our company, allowing us to better accommodate our growing clients' needs while contributing to the growth of the regional aviation sector in the Kitchener-Waterloo area,” said Chartright president Adam Keller. “This region deserves a modern jet facility that reflects the remarkable achievements of this community.”
