Montreal Metropolitan Airport (CYHU; formerly Montréal/Saint-Hubert Airport) will be receiving its fifth on-field FBO after Quebec-based JB Aviation Services announced it will invest C$55 million to build an aircraft ground service facility there.
The company—which specializes in aviation logistics including charter brokerage, fueling arrangements, and aircraft management—expects to break ground in September on an 11.5-acre leasehold. When completed in third-quarter 2025, the complex will include a luxurious 41,000-sq-ft two-story terminal and 100,000 sq ft of hangar space that can house ultra-long-range business jets.
With the facility, JB Aviation looks to enhance the passenger experience by offering customers smaller, more fuel-efficient, and quieter business aircraft through its flight shuttle logistics management services.
“We are pleased they have chosen [CYHU] to launch what will be one of the most prestigious business aviation services in Canada,” said airport president and CEO Yanic Roy. “For the [airport], business aviation is a strategic niche as it represents great economic development potential for the region while having no impact on the tranquility of the surrounding communities.”
