Overview
Arcadia Aviation is dedicated to serving the needs of our tenant customers. The company’s facilities are located, by design, at airports located in close proximity to the nation’s busiest airports that are not heavily frequented by transient passenger traffic. As such, our clients are not inconvenienced by the demands that transient customers typically impose on many of our competitors.
For our clients in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, Arcadia is developing two locations, one located just outside the Washington DC / Baltimore ADIZ and the other outside the congested Class B airspace of New York. Both airports offer outstanding infrastructure, un-congested aircraft operations, as well as advantageous real estate and cost of living economics. Both airports directly serve the top charter markets in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions.
Advantages of Relocating
The combined increase in the number and utilization of jet aircraft has taxed existing general aviation facilities. While the impact of this growth is being felt across the entire national airport infrastructure, it is particularly acute at hub airports like Washington DC’s Dulles International, New York’s Teterboro and other airports located near the nation’s major metropolitan markets.
Private aircraft owners and corporate fleet operators who base their aircraft at these major metropolitan airports compete for space and attention with transient aircraft. High levels of transient activity have contributed to crowded airspace, ramp congestion, service delays and cost escalations at these locations.
Driven in equal part by the growing congestion, lack of available space and the prohibitively high costs of fuel, hangar rent and other services, tenant operators based at primary major market airports are beginning to move their aircraft to “reliever” airports to take advantage of their cheaper fuel, greater availability of hangar storage and better service.
Arcadia Aviation was founded to provide these tenant operators individuals and corporations, managed aircraft customers and corporate flight departments – with an alternative. A place that offers a scope of benefits that we believe is unique in the industry:
- MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY With planned development of 200,000 square feet of hangar space at each location, Arcadia has the space to accommodate any customer need.
- CUSTOMIZED PROGRAMS Arcadia’s vertically integrated service offering (full service FBO, hangar storage, refueling, FAA certified repair station, FAA air carrier certificate) means we can customize a program to meet any customer need.
- VALUE ECONOMICS Arcadia’s economical hangar space and advantaged fuel purchasing programs create compelling reasons to relocate your flight department ‘remotely’.
- TOTAL TRANSPARENCY Arcadia’s total financial transparency means our customers understand precisely where our profit centers are; with all other expenses charged at cost.
Benefits of Arcadia Network
While we remain ready to serve you at any location desired by your client, there are benefits of keeping the aircraft within the Arcadia network of locations:
- RESOURCES The Company controls the deep resources and expertise resident at each of its locations (vs. a single maintenance employee at a remote location).
- PREDICTABILITY the Company owns its own fuel farms and hangars and can control these critical expenses. The company will provide you all necessary back up to ensure that you always receive the cost plus $0.50 deal for the life of the contract.
- CONSISTENCY the contract negotiated at one Arcadia location will be honored at any other Arcadia location should you choose to move the aircraft at any time during the term.
MRB
Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport (MRB), known for its place in aviation history as Shepherd Field, is Arcadia’s current base of operations near Martinsburg, West Virginia - located 37 miles northwest of Dulles International Airport (IAD). Since 1955, MRB has been proud to serve as the home of the USAF 167th Airlift Wing, now a C5 Galaxy base.
In 1946, All American Airways began its operations here, better known today as US AIRWAYS. Fairchild Aircraft manufactured and maintained the F227 here in the 1960’s.
Shepherd Field was also the home of the Berkeley Aviation Flying Club, whose members included Amelia Earhart and General Billy Mitchell.
Arcadia Aviation is your Fixed Base Operator at MRB, offering a complete range of FBO services to our growing list of clients, including an FAA Part 145 Repair Station. Our contract Jet A clients receive deeply discounted fuel prices as well as our commitment to help their flight departments control the high fuel costs of today.
Arcadia Aviation, also an airport developer, has made a long-term commitment to MRB’s growth, having just completed the first section of a planned 200,000 sf corporate hangar and office complex. Arcadia is currently seeking base tenant flight departments at each of our FBO locations.
