Fresh Off New Lease, W Aviation Plans Expansion at KFXE

W Aviation, an FBO at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE), has won a new 30-year lease from its city landlord for 13 acres on the field, paving the way for a $25 million facilities expansion.

As a result, the location, a member of the AEG Connect Network, will begin construction on a pair of 20,000-sq-ft hangars capable of accommodating ultra-long-range business jets and three acres of additional ramp. This development will bring the facility up to 70,000 sq ft of aircraft shelter and 15 acres of apron.

The FBO complex features a 20,000-sq-ft terminal with private guest lounges, Starbucks coffee service, spa-quality fitness center, Formula 1 racing simulator and entertainment arcade, 15-seat conference room, and on-site hotel-style accommodations for flight crews and guests.

“This new 30-year lease marks an exciting chapter for W Aviation and reflects our confidence in the future of Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport and the South Florida business aviation market,” said company CEO Ignacio Martinez. “Our vision has always been to create much more than a traditional FBO. We want W Aviation to be a destination where aircraft owners, passengers, and crews experience outstanding facilities, personalized attention, and a level of comfort that truly sets us apart.”
