Hawthorne Global Aviation Services has changed hands. The operator of six FBOs in the US has been purchased by a joint venture between Wafra and Nova Infrastructure in a move that could see it add more locations.

With a single load of SAF, an aircraft operator can make a two metric ton reduction in CO2 emissions. With sustainability on the mind of many, Hawthorne is working alongside Titan to provide greener fuelling.

While at Gateway USA, Chuck Kegley helped turn the business around from $8 million of debt, ultimately facilitating a successful sale. For his next challenge, he has become president of Hawthorne at MacArthur.
