Canadian aviation services provider Fast Air Executive Aviation is progressing with its expansion with the groundbreaking of its third location at Vancouver-area Abbotsford International Airport (CYXX). The full-service company which offers aircraft charter, management, and maintenance, also operates FBOs at Winnipeg International Airport (CYWG) and Red Lake Airport (CYRL) in Ontario.
The facility at CYXX will include a 3,000-sq-ft, two-story terminal and adjoining 16,000-sq-ft hangar capable of accommodating aircraft up to super-midsize jets. The terminal will offer a passenger lounge with views of nearby Mount Baker, crew lounge and flight planning area, café bar and complimentary snacks, upstairs conference room overlooking the runway, business center, tenant office space, and concierge service. Phase one of the multi-million dollar project is slated for completion by year-end and subsequent phase two will add a larger hangar capable of sheltering ultra-long-range jets.
CYXX has a 10,000-foot runway and provides an alternative to the congested Vancouver International Airport.
“Abbotsford is an ideal location for our new project as we continue to expand to serve clients and the growing demands of the region,” said Fast Air president and CEO Dylan Fast. “We have been pleased with the great reception, support, and collaboration of the Abbotsford International Airport leadership and the regional business community.”
