Azure Flight Support is adding a third location to its network, and its first outside of Tennessee, with the addition of the lone FBO at Maryland’s Salisbury Regional Airport (KSBY) on July 1. The company won the RFP process issued by the airport last year and will take over the facility next month from incumbent Bay Land Aviation, which was not among the operators to submit proposals.
The 3,600-sq-ft single-story facility features a pilot lounge, flight-planning area, concierge, crew cars, and refreshment bar. Azure will begin an immediate renovation on the two-decades-old terminal, and it plans to build a 4,500-sq-ft replacement terminal within the next two to three years. The complex also includes an above-ground 32,000-gallon fuel farm and 16,000 sq ft of hangar space capable of sheltering light jets.
Azure was given a 20-year lease for the facility, along with a 10-year renewal option. Its other facilities in Tennessee are at Smyrna (KMQY) and Crossville Memorial (KCSV) airports.
“We are thrilled to begin this new chapter as we take over FBO operations at KSBY,” said Azure partner and COO Jenny Hoffman. “As a company that has proudly grown its roots in Tennessee, expanding to Maryland represents a meaningful milestone for Azure Flight Support.”
