Skyservice Business Aviation, a North American leader in business aviation, has celebrated the grand opening of its new Seattle Business Jet Center at King County International Airport – Boeing Field (BFI) amongst industry peers, clients and dignitaries.
“Seattle is a thriving economic center for North America. Our business jet center brings a new level of ease, sophistication and luxury to the region’s business aviation FBO service offering,” said Benjamin Murray, Skyservice president and chief executive officer. “We are thrilled to welcome commuters, tenants and visitors to Seattle with outstanding service and personalization that has earned Skyservice its reputation for excellence in the industry.”
The 71,000-square-foot fixed-base operator (FBO) and hangar complex welcomed more than 200 guests over two days.
It is the newest FBO to support general aviation in Seattle at BFI, one of the top 25 busiest airports in the U.S. and the principal business aviation airport in the greater Seattle, WA area.
The facility is equipped with a passenger lounge that includes floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the airport ramp and a grand fireplace, a spacious pilot lounge, snooze rooms, refreshment stations and a 12-seat executive conference center with access to the 1,600-square-foot furnished terrace overlooking Mount Rainier.
The purpose-built 50,000-square-foot hangar and 7-acre apron support all aircraft, including piston and turbojet aircraft to cutting-edge future aircraft manufactured by Gulfstream, Bombardier, Embraer and Dassault.
Skyservice Seattle is a full-service FBO providing ground handling, aircraft refueling (AvFuel), detailing services, anti-icing, aircraft parking, hangarage and office space rentals.
