Hawker Pacific has solidified its position in Australia with the acquisition of Adagold FBOs in Brisbane and Cairns. Hawker Pacific has operations throughout Australia, the Middle East, Pacific and Asia. The acquisition is a strategic one as opportunities for business aviation expand 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,” the company said in a news release. “Cairns continues to be a premier tourist destination with increased business traffic.”
The two FBOs began operating under the Hawker Pacific brand on Jan. 24. The company will operate two facilities at Brisbane, its existing facility and the new one in the general aviation precinct. “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 utilizing the General Aviation precinct,” the company said.
