After a year in which it increased its number of FBO locations by 24, or more than a third overall, Landmark Aviation made its first network addition of 2015, acquiring Island City Flying Service, the lone service provider at Florida’s Key West International Airport. “Our expansion into the Key West market complements our existing south Florida locations,” said Landmark president and CEO Dan Bucaro. The company announced this news yesterday at the 2015 NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference.

“We’re not interested in the number of dots that you have on the map, we’re interested in making sure that locations we add to our network really add value to our customers, and so they are really relevant to what we do.”

The Key West location, Landmark’s eighth in the Sunshine State, specializes in quick turns with available U.S. Customs and immigration service. It offers a VIP lounge, catering, linen and dishwashing service, conference room, flight-planning area, on-site car rental, pilot lounge with snooze room, crew showers and hangar space.
