(Houston, TX – October 17, 2011) Landmark Aviation officially began operations on Saturday, October 8th at Tampa International Airport.
“We are excited to finally be a part of the Tampa International Airport and surrounding communities,” President & CEO Dan Bucaro explained. “We have been looking forward to operating on this field for several months now.”
The facility includes 44,500 square feet of hangar space in addition to a passenger lobby, pilot lounge, executive conference room, snooze room, and flight planning center. Services include fueling, ground handling, concierge, as well as hangar and office rentals.
Landmark Aviation’s FBO at Tampa International Airport will also be an addition to the company’s “Landmark Cares” facilities. These locations support charitable efforts in the local community. For every gallon of fuel sold at our Tampa location, Landmark will make a donation to local non-profit and charitable organizations. Landmark anticipates that the program could generate over $1 million in donations to the Tampa community over the duration of its lease.
“As part of our commitment to improving our facilities and services, we will begin making capital improvements immediately,” stated Bucaro. “TPA is an excellent addition to our growing network, and increases our presence in the Florida market.”
