Washington, D.C., area aircraft charter and management provider Projet Aviation is now the sole FBO operator at Leesburg Executive Airport following its purchase of the Landmark Aviation facility, which had served the airport since 2005. Projet, which operated a rival FBO on the north side of the airport since 2010, has moved its main operations to the former Landmark terminal. With the purchase, the company has tripled its hangar and office space at the airport to 75,000 sq ft. Under agreement with the town of Leesburg, Va., which operates the airport, Projet will provide aircraft fueling, maintenance and customer service until the FBO’s lease expires in 2016. The metro D.C.-area airport, which sees approximately 300 operations a day, has a 5,499-foot runway and is 15 minutes from Dulles International airport.
