Atlantic Aviation added a major destination to its FBO network as it assumed operations at Washington Dulles International Airport (KIAD), which serves the nation’s capital. In the conclusion of a rigorous RFP process first issued by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority in January 2022, Atlantic was selected in February as the winner for the facility formerly operated by Jet Aviation and was awarded a 20-year lease on the property.
One of two FBOs on the field, the location includes a 14,200-sq-ft terminal featuring a spacious lobby, passenger and pilot lounges, conference room, and 150,000 sq ft of heated hangar space capable of accommodating the latest ultra-long-range business jets. The leasehold also includes nearly 60,000 sq ft of office and shop space. Atlantic plans to improve the facility through expansion and upgrades.
“The addition of KIAD adds to our growing number of locations at the nation’s top-20 general aviation airports and allows us to now seamlessly serve more customers on the Eastern Seaboard with the same high quality of safety and care our team provides at every Atlantic Aviation location,” said Tim Bannon, the Texas-based company’s COO.
