As it celebrates its 30th anniversary, Wisconsin-based Spring City Aviation has expanded to four FBOs in the Badger State by acquiring the former Revv Aviation facility at Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport (KJVL) in Janesville.
The facility—the lone service provider at KJVL—offers a 2,725-sq-ft terminal with lounges, concierge, and an eight-seat conference room, as well as a 7,700-sq-ft hangar. While guests there will continue to enjoy the quality of service they’ve come to expect, enhanced offerings include charter services, onsite aircraft maintenance, and quick turns.
The location remains an Avfuel-branded dealer, offering the fuel provider’s Avtrip customer loyalty program and access to its contract fuel plan.
Headquartered in Waukesha, Spring City Aviation is a comprehensive aviation company providing private charter, aircraft management, maintenance, sales, and ground handling services. It also operates FBOs in Wisconsin at Waukesha County Airport (KUES), Milwaukee at Lawrence J. Timmerman Airport (KMWC), and Baraboo/Wisconsin Dells Regional Airport (KDLL), along with an air charter base at Burlington Municipal Airport (KBUU).
“As we celebrate 30 years in the sky, we’re excited to welcome Janesville into the Spring City Aviation family,” said company owner and CEO Brian Behrens. “The addition of KJVL enhances our ability to provide charter passengers, aircraft owners, and pilots with expanded access to premium FBO services and exceptional customer care.”

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
