LIMA Welcomes Hawthorne Global Aviation Services
Islip Town Supervisor Tom Croci and Councilman John Cochrane joined Hawthorne Global Aviation Service executives in announcing its official start of business at Long Island MacArthur Airport on April 30. Hawthorne Global Aviation Services recently acquired ExcelAire, LLC, an aircraft charter and management company with an extensive history at LIMA.
For over 27 years, ExcelAire, LLC, provided premier general aviation services for its clients. Moving forward, those same services will now be handled by Hawthorne Global Aviation Services, which has an aviation history dating back 80 years to 1932. Headquartered in Charleston, SC, Hawthorne Global Aviation Services acquired ExcelAire at a time when the Fixed Base Operator (FBO) was in the middle of expanding operations at LIMA. The expansion, part of three 40-year leases signed by ExcelAire, is expected to add 32,000 square feet to its current footprint of 132,000 square feet. |
