Hawthorne acquires Heartland Aviation at KEAU

By General Aviation News Staff · October 4, 2014 ·

Hawthorne Global Aviation Services has acquired Heartland Aviation at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport (KEAU) in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Heartland is the fifth FBO in Hawthorne’s nationwide network, and its third acquisition in the last six months, according to officials with the Charleston, S.C.-based company.

The new Hawthorne Eau Claire FBO has a recently-renovated passenger terminal and amenities, such as pilot lounges and conference facilities. Hawthorne Eau Claire is a full-service FBO and also conducts commercial airline fueling at the airport. In addition to the FBO, Heartland has an aircraft charter and management operation with four Citation Jet aircraft, and a maintenance department capable of servicing both piston and turbine aircraft.

The FBO at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport expands the Hawthorne network of FBOs across North America that includes locations at MacArthur Airport in Islip, New York (KISP), Chicago Executive Airport in Chicago, Illinois (KPWK), Lakefront Airport in New Orleans, Louisiana (KNEW), and Cobb County Airport in Atlanta, Georgia (KRYY).
