Hawker Pacific, the leading aviation solutions
provider in Asia, Pacific and the Middle East, has announced the acquisition of
Adagold’s Fixed Base Operations in Brisbane and Cairns.
The two acquired FBO operations have been
operating under the Hawker Pacific brand since 24th January 2017. In Brisbane
Hawker Pacific will operate from both its existing FBO facility and from the
newly acquired FBO in the General Aviation precinct, providing unique access
opportunities for customers.
As Asia Pacific’s premier Fixed Based
Operator, Hawker Pacific operates a network of world-class facilities across
Australia and in the key Asian ports of Singapore and Shanghai, offering
outstanding customer service and crew facilities on a 24/7/365 basis.
The expansion of Hawker Pacific's Fixed Base
Operations further strengthens the company’s capacity to take full advantage of
growth opportunities in Queensland.
The acquisition comes as Queensland gears up
for the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, the scheduled completion of a
new runway at Brisbane Airport in 2020 and the opening of a new Casino in
Brisbane. Cairns continues to be a premier tourist destination with increased
business traffic.
In addition to added capacity, the closer
proximity of the new FBO facility to the new runway at Brisbane Airport will
deliver significant time saving for Hawker Pacific customers particularly when
utilising the General Aviation precinct.
Graham Owen,
Hawker Pacific Vice President FBO Australia, is confident the acquisition of
Adagold’s FBO business will further strengthen Hawker Pacific’s ability to meet
growing demand in the Queensland market as well as securing a key location in
regard to the future development of Brisbane Airport.
"Hawker Pacific is delighted to announce the
acquisition of Adagold's FBO operations in Brisbane and Cairns. It's an exciting
time for Queensland tourism right now and this expansion will significantly
strengthen Hawker Pacific's capacity to capture these growth opportunities. With
the recent announcements of improvement in the mining industry in QLD there is
an expected a lift in the Fly In Fly Out sector. 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 Fixed Base Operator in the region,"
says Graham Owen, Vice President FBO Australia.
"Hawker Pacific is committed to world class,
on-demand aviation services and proudly operates the largest network of FBO's
across Australia and in the key Asian ports of Singapore and Shanghai. We look
forward to adding an additional capacity to our network of world class FBO's and
continuing to deliver our internationally recognised customer service levels,"
he added.
