Connecticut-based aircraft services provider Volo Aviation has been selected to manage the FBO at New York’s Ogdensburg International Airport, near the Canadian border. In addition to handling the GA FBO services, Volo will provide into-plane fueling for Allegiant Air, which will begin commercial air service at the airport starting next month.

The airport recently underwent a major expansion, which boosted the length of its runway by 1,000 feet to 6,400 feet to accommodate larger airliners, and added a 425-space parking lot. "The Ogdensburg airport has a lot of potential for both commercial and general aviation,” said Volo senior vice president Brian Ciambra. “Our initial challenge is to make the aviation community aware of what this airport has to offer.”

The rebranded FBO will be the company’s fifth U.S. location, all of which are on the East Coast. Volo's newest addition features a 2,500-sq-ft terminal with a pilots' lounge, weather and flight briefing room and business center. Ciambra told AIN he expects to begin a refurbishment of the structure within the next several months.

“We are extremely pleased to be working with a company like Volo Aviation and believe this will be a mutually beneficial relationship,” noted Wade Davis, executive director of the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority. “Volo officials share our vision for making this airport successful.”
