In a move that expands its presence across eastern Iowa and western Illinois and strengthens its ability to deliver comprehensive aviation services, Galesburg, Illinois-based aviation services provider Jet Air Inc. has purchased two FBOs and a satellite Part 145 repair facility from Revv Aviation.
Jet Air has rebranded the former Revv FBOs at Davenport Municipal (KDVN) and Muscatine Municipal (KMUT) airports in Iowa, as well as the maintenance station at Quad Cities International Airport (KMLI) in Moline, Illinois.
It also purchased the aircraft management contracts at those locations. Jet Air now owns, operates, or manages 20 turbine aircraft, primarily Cessna Citations and Beechcraft King Airs, in addition to a large fleet of training aircraft.
The acquisition brings Jet Air to six FBOs in the region, including its existing locations at Iowa City Municipal (KIOW) and Southwest Iowa Regional (KBRL) airports; and at Galesburg Regional (KGBG) and Macomb Municipal (KMQB) airports in Illinois, along with five maintenance facilities situated within approximately 100 sq mi.
“Our concentrated presence allows us to collaborate across facilities, share expertise, and offer capabilities that are not typically available in rural markets,” said Jet Air president Phillip Wolford.
Following the transaction, Revv retains its lone FBO at Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport (KJVL) in Janesville. It also offers aircraft maintenance and charter at Aurora Municipal Airport (KARR) in Illinois; flight instruction, maintenance, and avionics at Iowa’s Council Bluffs Municipal Airport (KCBF); and a flight school at Eppley Airfield (KOMA) in Omaha, Nebraska.
