US FBO network Atlantic Aviation has made a significant new addition to its network on the US Eastern Seaboard as it begins management of fixed base operations (FBO) at Washington Dulles International airport (IAD) in Virginia. The company has completed its move into this new location, previously operated by Jet Aviation, and has begun serving customers.

The lease on the property and facilities was awarded to Atlantic Aviation following a rigorous Request for Proposal (RFP) competition conducted by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.

Atlantic Aviation plans to enhance its presence at IAD through both expansion and facility improvements. Its facility currently includes a 14,200 sq ft terminal, six hangars totalling 150,000 sq ft and 59,000 sq ft of combined office and shop space.

“This is a terrific development for all of us,” says Atlantic COO Tim Bannon. “The addition of IAD adds to our growing number of locations at the nation's top 20 general aviation airports and allows us to now seamlessly serve more customers on the Eastern Seaboard with the same high quality of safety and care our team provides at every Atlantic Aviation location.”
