Vantage Aviation Celebrates a Busy First Year

Fledgling services provider Vantage Aviation is celebrating its one-year anniversary this week at NBAA-BACE 2025. The company’s cornerstone was laid last October with the purchase of Dominion Aviation, the lone FBO and aircraft charter provider at Richmond Executive-Chesterfield County Airport (KFCI) in Virginia.

Backed by private investment firm Jadian Capital, Vantage quickly followed that up by buying two FBOs in South Carolina and one in Minnesota in less than a month. It has a $51 million facility under construction at Colorado’s Rifle Garfield County Airport (KRIL), which is slated to open late next year, and the company is in line to acquire the assets of Corporate Air, one of two FBOs at Pittsburgh-area Allegheny County Airport (KAGC). Corporate Air recently declared bankruptcy.

Vantage recently revised its website, consolidating the information on its facilities with easy access to reservations, charter quotes, and airport development.

“It’s been an incredible year of growth, and we have far exceeded our own ambitious goals,” said company founder and CEO Ryan Maxfield. “As a fully integrated operator, we can provide a full menu of services to our customers, and I believe it is this value proposition that has assisted in our rapid expansion. We’re grateful for all of the support we’ve received throughout and can’t wait to see what the next 12 months has in store.”
