Canada-based Chartright Air Group reopened its Hangar 64 FBO at the Region of Waterloo International airport (YFK).

The FBO boasts an impressive 100,000 sq ft of space and 150,000 sq ft of ramp space, doubling Chartright's footprint at the airport. This expansion is a direct response to the increasing demand from clients and the need for enhanced facilities outside of the greater Toronto area. It will also help facilitate the continued growth of the company's managed fleet. By positioning the FBO at Region of Waterloo, Chartright provides convenient access to a premier facility for clients seeking exceptional aircraft management and charter services while offering an alternative to Toronto. The FBO has a brand new executive lounge area that is divided into a VIP lounge for private jet passengers and a comfortable seating area for corporate shuttle service passengers.

Chartright is dedicated to supporting the growth of local airline operators, and the addition of the FBO further strengthens this commitment. The facility features an exclusive hangar designed to accommodate several aircraft types as large as a Boeing 767. The FBO has also been bestowed the prestigious Air Elite designation by World Fuel. By providing this exceptional space, Chartright aims to foster a flourishing aviation community and contribute to the growth of the regional aviation sector in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.

"We are incredibly excited about the opening of Chartright's FBO at YKF," says president Adam Keller. "This expansion represents a significant milestone for our company, allowing us to better accommodate our growing clients' needs while contributing to the growth of the regional aviation sector in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. This region deserves a state-of-the-art jet facility that reflects the remarkable achievements of this community."
