Canadian aviation services provider Skyservice has expanded its network to include all three of the country’s largest cities with the opening of its FBO at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR). In February, the company obtained the former InterDel Aviation Services facility in a lease from World Fuel Services.
The complex, one of three FBOs on the field, consists of a 14,000-sq-ft multi-story terminal with a passenger lounge offering views of the Pacific Mountain Range, business center, conference rooms, pilot lounge with snooze rooms, showers, and ramp-side vehicle access. It has three 20,000-sq-ft heated hangars that can accommodate the latest ultra-long-range business jets and 175,000 sq ft of apron parking. For Skyservice, this represents its 11th FBO in North America and its sixth World Fuel Air Elite location in Canada.
“Vancouver is an essential hub for Canadian commerce and recreation and a key location for our clients,” said company president and CEO Benjamin Murray. “We intend to make further investments at the airport, including expanding our hangar footprint, providing on-site maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities, and operating sustainability initiatives.”
