Landmark Aviation acquired Ellington Partners and Southwest Airport Services at Houston Ellington Airport last week. This marks Landmark’s second FBO in the Houston area, the first being a facility at George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport.

“We are happy to expand our footprint in Houston, and we look forward to being a part of Ellington Airport and its surrounding communities,” said Landmark president and CEO Dan Bucaro. “Ellington is a great alternative to other more congested airports in the Houston area.”

The FBO, which was founded by Jim Bath in 1984, includes two executive terminals and more than 150,000 sq ft of hangar, office and shop space. Landmark began operations in the former Southwest Airport Services on February 18. The location’s amenities include conference rooms and pilot and passenger lounges, as well as an observation deck.
