Ross Aviation adds 14th location to its FBO network

Ross Aviation today confirmed that it has acquired the assets of the FBO formerly operated by Ronson Aviation, Inc. at Trenton Mercer Airport in West Trenton, New Jersey. For the time being, the FBO will continue to operate as "Ronson Aviation".

This acquisition extends the Ross Aviation family of locally-managed and distinctly-branded FBOs into the Northeast and broadens the company's reach to 14 locations stretching from Alaska to Florida and from Hawaii to New Jersey. The other Ross Aviation FBOs are Denver AirCenter at BJC, Scottsdale AirCenter at SDL, Santa Fe AirCenter at SAF, Corporate Aircraft at FAT, Great Circle Flight Services at ANC, Miami Executive Aviation at OPF, Laredo Aero Center at LRD and Bradley Pacific Aviation at six locations in Hawaii (HNL, KOA, OGG, LIH, ITO and LNY).

Ronson Aviation is a full service FBO engaged in aircraft fueling, hangar and office rental, aircraft maintenance, and avionics sales, installation and service. It offers 72,000 square feet of hangar and office space and 24/7 operations. It is located midway between New York and Philadelphia on the I-95 corridor, with 10% of the nation's population residing within a 75-mile radius. With its 6,000 foot runway, ILS and on-site US Customs, Trenton Mercer Airport is the aviation home to many of the world's pharmaceutical leaders. It is also minutes from Princeton University and a short drive to the Jersey Shore.

Ross Aviation president and CEO Jeff Ross commented that, "It is exciting to acquire a new FBO. We've had our eye on Ronson Aviation for many years and are proud to have it in our portfolio. It is an attractive addition to our expanding map and we look forward to continuing to add locations."

Ross Aviation has re-hired all of the Ronson Aviation employees, including general manager, Wolcott Blair. Greg Ross added, "While we are primarily attracted by markets and opportunities, once again we have succeeded in acquiring exceptionally strong local management. We are impressed with Mr. Blair's understanding of the industry, the market, the business, its customers and his employees. We are confident that Wolcott and his team will excel in providing great FBO services."
