San Diego Jet Center, a full-service provider at California’s Brown Field Municipal Airport (KSDM), has been purchased by Industrial Realty Group, the company that has a majority interest in Sacramento McClellan Airport (KMCC) and McClellan Jet Services, its lone FBO.
The facility at KSDM sits on a 25-acre leasehold and will be rebranded as Air Center San Diego. According to the new ownership, its staff will be retained.
“We are excited and grateful to welcome San Diego Jet Center’s knowledgeable, reliable team members, to the Air Center family,” said customer service manager Brittany Favero. “We look forward to modernization and streamlined approaches, while keeping intact the commitment to customer satisfaction that defines the operation.”
The current FBO features a small World War II-vintage terminal that will receive minor upgrades and operate as an interim facility until a new complex opens in the third quarter of 2025. The FBO offers a variety of hangar space including 24,000 sq ft that can accommodate aircraft up to a Gulfstream G500.
Ground has already been broken on the new FBO complex on the eastern side of the field which will feature a 14,400-sq-ft terminal with a 1,200-sq-ft customs facility built to U.S. Customs and Border Protection specifications, pilot lounge, snooze rooms, conference rooms, kitchen, dining area, and porte-cochère. In addition, plans for phase one of the development call for the addition of a new fuel farm as well as a pair of 37,000-sq-ft hangars capable of sheltering the latest ultra-long-range business jets.
