Hawthorne Global Aviation Services has completed the successful acquisition of Atlanta Executive Jet Center at Cobb County Airport, taking the total number of FBOs in its nationwide network to four.
The new Hawthorne Atlanta FBO has more than 500,000ft² of hangar space, a 6,000ft² passenger terminal and first class amenities such as pilot lounges and conference facilities. The FBO also features extensive services for pilots including computer flight planning, weather service and after-hours fuel and emergency services, and is a full-service Shell Aviation fueling station.
“There’s an attractive new option in Atlanta – Hawthorne at Cobb County Airport,” said Bill Koch, chairman of Hawthorne. “Customers will appreciate the Hawthorne standard of service at Atlanta’s new airport of choice.”
Cobb County Airport is the second busiest general aviation airport in Georgia, USA and is poised to become an international destination, with the addition of onsite US Customs in 2015.
“We are excited at the tremendous opportunity that Hawthorne Atlanta represents for us as we set an anchor in another major metropolitan city,” said Steven Levesque, president and CEO of Hawthorne. “With this acquisition, we now have a presence in the largest market in the Southeast.”
