Colorado-based Ross Aviation has acquired Air Service Hawaii and its six FBOs located in Hawaii. With this acquisition, Ross Aviation will grow its number of locations to 25.
The six locations being added to the Ross Aviation network include Honolulu (HNL), Lanai (LNY), Maui (OGG), Hilo (ITO), Kauai (LIH), and Kona (KOA).
Air Service Hawaii has been in operation since 1948 and is known for bringing many aviation firsts to Hawaii, including the first business jet hangar and FBO terminal at Kona International Airport. Both the 38,000 square-foot hangar and 5,000 square-foot FBO facility are expected to be completed this year.
“Mi Kosasa and I have thoroughly enjoyed carrying on the amazing history of this company, as well as its ongoing contributions to aviation in the islands,” said Shaen Tarter, president of Air Service Hawaii. “It gives me a great deal of satisfaction to now have ownership passed to a company that’s as dedicated as we have been to respecting the people, rich traditions and precious environment of Hawaii.”
Ross Aviation announced its own merger with Atlantic Aviation last year, which will likely bring the Atlantic branding to the newly acquired Air Service Hawaii facilities.
