Vantage Aviation has celebrated its first anniversary, one year after acquiring its first fixed-base operation at Richmond Executive Chesterfield County Airport in Virginia. It now operates four fully integrated FBOs across the United States, with a fifth under construction at Rifle Garfield County Airport in Colorado, set to open in Q4 2026.

In addition to fuelling, ground handling and hangar services, the company offers aircraft management, charter, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and flight training.

“It's been an incredible year of growth, and we have far exceeded our own ambitious goals,” says founder and CEO Ryan Maxfield, Vantage Aviation. “As a fully integrated operator, we can provide a full menu of services to our customers, and I believe it's this value proposition that has assisted in our rapid expansion.”

Vantage was launched in 2024 by lifelong aviation professionals Maxfield and COO and partner Kyle Cassidy, Vantage Aviation, following their first acquisition of Dominion Aviation at FCI. Since then, the company has added FBOs in Greenville and Duluth and has begun construction on a new site in Rifle, Colorado.

“In every market we've listened to the needs of both aviators and the airports,” says Cassidy. “We've made investments across the board with improved facilities and amenities, and empowered our team to really create a sophisticated, personalised service culture.”

Vantage has also launched a rebranded website to unify its FBO network, offering users easier access to reservations, charter quotes and airport information.
