Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based service provider W Aviation (Booth 913) is on hand at NBAA 2016 to detail the company’s current expansion project at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE). Scheduled for completion by the end of next year, the 8.5-acre addition includes a pair of 20,000-sq-ft hangars, with 5,500 sq ft of office and shop space, 155,000 sq ft of new apron and a 24,000-sq-ft terminal. The company is currently accepting leases in advance of the opening.
At its booth, the company is also introducing the staff of W Aviacion, its new facility at Venezuela’s Maiquetia International Airport. Opened last year, the location offers a modern passenger lobby, flight-planning area, pilot lounge and line support. W will introduce a new International Family FBO Network Connection Program to operators who use both facilities, and explain the benefits of flying direct to FXE, which now offers expanded U.S. Customs hours and a Global Entry kiosk.
“We are proud to be growing our network of FBOs internationally and look forward to our continued growth also at Fort Lauderdale with the expansion of our existing FBO campus,” said company vice president Leonel Leon. “It is vital to provide our transient and based customers with the best in all of our aviation services and facilities throughout all of our business lines. We are confident that our new facilities and premium service programs will provide luxury experiences for all visitors who use us as the entryway into South Florida and in Maiquetia.”
