Canadian aircraft charter and management provider Chartright Air Group opened its first FBO last week, at Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF), making it the second service provider located on the field.

Founded in 1987, and based at Toronto Pearson International but with bases across the country, Chartright acquired a four-year-old, 50,000-sq-ft hangar at YKF last year and has since refurbished it as part of an FBO. The 5,000-sq-ft terminal has passenger and crew lounges and offices, and on-site Canadian customs and immigration service is available 24/7 with advance notice.

The hangar can shelter aircraft up to a Boeing 757, or a score of Challengers, and maintenance service is offered for aircraft from small bizjets to airliners. The company also installed a 31,700-gallon (120,000 liter) Jet-A tank farm, with fuel supplied by Epic Aviation.
