As winter approaches, <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2025-06-09/new-hampshire-airport-sees-birth-new-fbo-chain">fledgling</a> FBO chain Infinity Aviation has increased its cold-weather capabilities at two of its four locations. It has added Type I deicing at its recently <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2026-08-20/infinity-aviation-groups-adds-ny-area-fbo-chain">acquired</a> FBO at New Jersey’s Trenton-Mercer Airport (KTTN), as well as at its original <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2026-04-27/infinity-aviation-opens-renovated-fbo-new-hampshire">facility</a> at Nashua Airport (KASH) in New Hampshire. The latter location also features Type IV anti-icing capacity.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Both locations are equipped with their own sprayer trucks that can deice large- cabin jets, including ultra-long-range models. The company’s line staff has undergone extensive training on aircraft deicing for Part 91 and 135.
“With our already rich offering of services at our FBOs, our new onsite deicing service helps operators prepare aircraft for departure more efficiently in the colder months,” said Infinity founder and CEO Steven Levesque.&nbsp;“This is a vital service that we provide through the winter months for our customers, and they can be confident that we will keep their aircraft in safe operating condition.”

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