SAR Trilogy Management, LLC has announced Ashley Udick as general manager of Aero Center Lakeland, its FBO complex at Lakeland Linder International Airport (KLAL) in Florida. Udick is currently overseeing the construction of the company's first FBO complex, which will open in late May 2021.

Aero Center Lakeland is located midfield off taxiway A for pilots and at the end of Airport Road for drivers. Phase I of the Aero Center Lakeland build includes a new three-acre air transport capable ramp, a 50,000 gallon fuel farm and a modular/temporary FBO. In the fourth quarter of 2021, Phase II will add an 11,000 square foot FBO and office space as well as two hangars of 10,000 and 15,000 square feet.

Udick joins the Aero Centers team with over 10 years of aviation-related management experience, including leadership roles at Sonoma Jet Center, Winter Haven Airport and Sheltair. Recognised for her emphasis on customer service by International Aviation News in 2019, Udick will lead Aero Center Lakeland as a customer-centric expert to the private aviation community in Lakeland.

“Returning to KLAL to launch Aero Center Lakeland is a challenge that I am excited to take on because of the supportive aviation community that I know first-hand exists here,” says Udick.

Michael Scheeringa, co-founder of SAR Trilogy Management comments, “Ashley's leadership reputation for the local aviation community and customer orientation made her a perfect fit for the culture Aero Centers wants to deliver. She possesses a stellar track record and came highly recommended.”

Sanjay Aggarwal, co-founder of SAR Trilogy Management adds, “I am confident Ashley will establish Aero Center Lakeland as the provider that offers the same excellent services to general aviators and business jets alike, whether travelling locally, nationally or internationally.”

Aero Center Lakeland is strategically located on the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando, serving the rapidly growing business community and tourist destination icons including Walt Disney World, Busch Gardens, Universal and Legoland, as well as transient travellers that can take advantage of the international capabilities of KLAL.

SAR Trilogy Management had earlier announced Aero Center Wilmington, its second location with a similar footprint at Wilmington International Airport (KILM) in Wilmington, North Carolina, which is slated for completion in the second half of 2021.
