Florida-based Jetscape Services broke ground last Friday on an FBO complex at Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport (FLL). Located on the west side of the field, the $20 million-plus facility will include a 25,000-sq-ft terminal and a pair of 40,000-sq-ft hangars.
Jetscape, a founding member of the World Fuel Services-sponsored Air Elite Network, currently operates from two locations at FLL, known as Jetscape Base and Jetscape Alpha. When the new facility is completed in summer 2020, the company plans to return the eight-acre Base facility, which includes a 4,600-sq-ft terminal and 29,000 sq ft of hangars to Broward County, which operates the airport.
“Over the last 16 years, we have outgrown our original leasehold,” said Jetscape president Troy Menken. “With the purchase of Victory Aviation’s facility last year and this new 25-acre project, we will be able to accommodate all of Jetscape Services’ customers.”
“Jetscape has always been committed to delivering service excellence,” said Steve Dryzmalla, World Fuel’s senior vice president for bulk fuel sales in North America. “We applaud their investment in the new and expanded facility as it will provide the current and future Air Elite customers a very distinct and comfortable place to enjoy when they arrive in Fort Lauderdale.”
