Meridian Hayward Now Open for Business

Oct. 17, 2016
The facility will serve as a West Coast base for Meridian Air Charter, Meridian Aircraft Management and aircraft maintenance.

Meridian announced that its new fixed-base operations (FBO) at Hayward Executive Airport in Hayward, Calif. is now open for business. 

The facility features the services and amenities that discerning passengers and flight crews should expect to find when traveling through a Meridian FBO, including professionally-trained customer service and line service teams, an elegant main lobby, business center, conference room, pilot briefing area, pilot lounge, coffee bar, kitchen/catering area, sleep room, shower and locker room, rental cars, and crew cars.

Epic Fuels is the branded fuel supplier for Meridian Hayward. 

A great location for business and charter aircraft, Meridian Hayward is located at an airport with no curfew and, like Teterboro, is a General Aviation-specific airport, with no commercial airline traffic.  This initial opening features a newly constructed 6,300 square foot terminal with support offices, a 30,000 square foot hanger and 3.5 acres of ramp area.

Ken Forester, CEO, had this to say about the occasion, “We are extremely pleased to be able to announce the opening of our new FBO, Meridian Hayward.  We are now pumping fuel and ready to serve our customers in the San Francisco Bay area.  The genesis of this project began four years ago, and now it’s moved from a vision to a reality.  Hayward is the keystone of our long-term growth strategy, which also includes a new hangar project at Teterboro, and the continued expansion of our charter fleet.” 

Additional phases of construction are planned, and will include a second 12,000 square foot terminal, two 40,000 square foot hangers and an additional seven acres of ramp space.  The facility will serve as a West Coast base for Meridian Air Charter and Meridian Aircraft Management.  Aircraft maintenance support is also available.

While the FBO is now officially operational, Meridian Hayward will be celebrating its Grand Opening on Dec. 15.
