Carver Aero has acquired FBO Janesville Jet Center at the Southern Wisconsin Regional airport in Janesville, Wisconsin. Carver Aero is continuing to expand its full service FBO network throughout the US midwest. In addition to Janesville, the company operates FBOs in Muscatine, Davenport and Council Bluffs in Iowa, the latter of which – Advanced Air – was acquired earlier this year.

“Carver Aero is the ideal new owner of the Janesville Jet Center FBO,” says Steve King on behalf of the longtime ownership team. “It understands the business, will expand the services and take the FBO to a level we dreamed about that will result in substantial growth on the field. I am also very pleased that all employees wishing to stay will remain. I wish Carver Aero and the airport all the best.”

“We have three key initiatives with the Janesville FBO,” adds Carver Aero CEO Guy Lieser. “One is to work with existing airfield businesses and tenants to determine what opportunities exist to benefit all. A second is to offer services not currently being offered, such as aircraft maintenance, avionics and charter services with our fleet of turboprops. Finally, we believe smaller airports should be contributors to the local economy and be an integral part of the community.”

Carver Aero chairman Peter Limberger adds: “The Janesville FBO fits into our business strategy to expand into smaller communities throughout the midwest, and this acquisition expands our footprint into Wisconsin. This airfield can accommodate higher volumes and larger planes, and that means greater opportunity.”

Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport director Greg Cullen concludes: “Carver Aero brings additional capital and resources to expand aviation services on the airfield and has already reached out to existing businesses to determine how they can grow overall operations at the airport. This should be a win for everybody.”
