Kearney Aviation Center recently became the sole aviation services provider at Nebraska’s Kearney Regional Jet Center, when its competitor Otis Air Service closed. Kearney seized the opportunity to expand its business when it moved from its 1,400-sq-ft terminal to the 4,500-sq-ft former Otis-leased location. The new site offers a pilots’ lounge with snooze room and a large conference room. The company recently completed a 22,000-sq-ft heated hangar that can accommodate aircraft up to a GIV. The location is home to approximately a dozen turbine-powered aircraft, from a Cessna Sovereign to a Piper Meridian. The Avfuel-branded dealer also recently added oxygen service and Type I de-icing. The FBO is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., with free after-hours callout service available.
