Skyservice Business Aviation has celebrated the grand opening of its Seattle business jet centre this week at King County International airport-Boeing Field with industry peers, clients and dignitaries.

“Seattle is a thriving economic centre for North America. Our business jet centre brings a new level of ease, sophistication and luxury to the region's business aviation FBO service offering,” comments Benjamin Murray, president and CEO. “We are thrilled to welcome commuters, tenants and visitors to Seattle with outstanding service and personalisation that has earned Skyservice its reputation for excellence in the industry.”

The Canada-headquartered company took over Leading Edge Jet Center at Boeing Field in November 2021 as the FBO was starting the development of a new low carbon hangar and executive terminal space. Now the 71,000sq ft FBO and hangar complex has welcomed more than 200 guests over two days.

It is the newest FBO to support general aviation in Seattle at Boeing Field, one of the top 25 busiest airports in the US and the principal business aviation airport in the greater Seattle, Washington area. The facility is equipped with an inviting passenger lounge, including floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the airport ramp and a grand fireplace, a spacious pilot lounge, snooze rooms, refreshment stations and a 12 seat executive conference centre with access to the 1,600sq ft furnished terrace overlooking Mount Rainier. The purpose-built 50,000sq ft hangar and seven acre apron support all aircraft, from piston and turbojet aircraft to cutting-edge future aircraft manufactured by Gulfstream, Bombardier, Embraer and Dassault.

Skyservice Seattle is a full-service, Corporate Aircraft Association-Preferred FBO providing ground handling, aircraft refuelling (AvFuel), detailing services, anti-icing, aircraft parking, hangarage and office space rentals. Through an exclusive partnership with Go Rentals, passengers and flight crew can step off their aircraft and into an elite vehicle, providing peak convenience and setting the gold standard in white-glove service.
