International aviation services provider Hawker Pacific has acquired the Adagold FBO locations in Cairns and Brisbane, Australia, strengthening its network in its home country and bringing its total to eight FBOs.
At Brisbane Airport, which is anticipating the opening of a new runway in 2020, the company will operate from both its existing FBO facility and from the newly acquired location in the general aviation precinct. The addition of the Cairns location improves the company’s capacity to capture the increasing amount of aircraft traffic in Queensland.
“With the recent announcements of improvement in the mining industry in Queensland, there is an expected lift in the fly-in, fly-out sector,” said Graham Owen, the company’s vice president of Australian FBOs. “Hawker Pacific is focused on ensuring we continue to meet growing demand in this segment of the market and further cement our position as the leading FBO in the region.”
