The acquisition of SkyPlace FBO at San Antonio International airport in Texas has taken Velocity FBO Network to six locations across North America, further expanding its geographically diversified FBO platform.

SkyPlace offers 24/7 fuel service and ground support, together with hangar and office space accommodating aircraft ranging from single turbines to large-cabin jets. The facility also features a recently renovated lounge and lobby, a covered entrance, highway access and an on-site U.S. Customs and Border Protection Federal Inspection Station.

Velocity FBO Network CEO Chad Farishon says: “SkyPlace is a leading FBO in the San Antonio market, with significant hangar and ramp capacity and a team that has built a strong reputation for exceptional customer service. We are excited to welcome SkyPlace to the Velocity network and build on its strong foundation through continued investment in its people, facilities and long-term growth.”

Tallvine Partners partner Mark Clark says: “San Antonio is a significant general aviation market, making SkyPlace a strategic fit for Velocity and a natural expansion of our platform.”

Velocity, which is backed by Tallvine Partners, also operates at Willow Run airport in Detroit, Michigan; Kissimmee Gateway airport in Orlando, Florida; St. Simons Island airport in St. Simons Island, Georgia; Lake Havasu City airport in Lake Havasu, Arizona; and Baton Rouge Metropolitan airport in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Velocity says it is continuing to expand through acquisitions and development.
