Marathon Aviation, based at Florida Keys Marathon International airport, is opening a new luxury FBO and hangar complex. The new 3,000 sq ft FBO facility, inspired by Ernest Hemingway, offers generously-sized relaxation and leisure areas complete with a recreation table, and beautiful outdoor viewing decks. The building is designed with a modern aesthetic that includes a nod to Key West. Inside, guests benefit from a spacious kitchen and café area.

The 12,000 sq ft hangar, featuring 28 foot doors, is able to accommodate aircraft up to G650-size and offers a location for easy taxiway, runway and highway access.

“We are thrilled to welcome guests to our iconic new FBO, providing a fully immersive, luxury Middle Keys experience,” states Marty Hiller, Marathon Aviation's owner. “As a launchpad for US Customs and a gateway for the region's tourism, five-star resorts and world-renowned fishing industry, we're proud to unveil this investment in the local community, economy and our customers ahead of the busy winter season.”

Marathon Aviation's facility tops off a portfolio of services and amenities for the discerning traveller. With expedited customs, 24/7 service, a direct from UG448 approach, attentive concierge support, no wait times, and a 5,008 foot runway, Marathon is well-positioned as an entry point for the region, and is in close proximity to resorts such as Checca Lodge, Hawks Cay, Isla Bella and Little Palm Island. The facility is an Avfuel-branded FBO.
