New FBO Opens at Ontario’s London International Airport

Canada’s London International Airport (CYXU) in Ontario has received a new service provider with the opening of FlyXcite FBO. Under construction for nearly two years, the $15 million CDN ($11 million) facility includes a two-story, glass-sheathed 12,000-sq-ft terminal with a double-height, naturally lit lobby offering panoramic runway views, refreshment bar, pilot lounge with snooze rooms and flight-planning area, showers, concierge, conference room, and catering coordination. On the second floor are offices for guest use—either long-term or daily—and a 1,200-sq-ft outdoor viewing deck with an adjoining interior kitchen.

The complex also includes a 35,000-sq-ft heated hangar that can accommodate aircraft up to the size of Bombardier Globals. Customs clearance is available on the ramp, along with full ground-handling services.

As an unbranded FBO, the location is using the European model for fuel purchasing, giving operators their choice of fuel providers, rather than being limited to a single supplier.

“FlyXcite FBO was built to challenge convention,” explained company CEO Nick Erb. “We’re delivering a facility that not only meets the highest standards of comfort and service, but also gives operators more choice and control, something that the North American market has been missing.”
