Bankstown Airport Limited (BAL) and Aeromil Pacific have reached an agreement that will see the Cessna distributor expand its presence at Bankstown Airport.
Aeromil Pacific, which already has significant operations based at Bankstown, will take up the lease of a large hangar which will house the company’s growing aviation operations including maintenance, sales, corporate and charter operations and professional services.
“This is great news for Sydney Metro Airport Bankstown with one of Australia’s leading long established General Aviation companies and the exclusive regional Cessna sales agent, Aeromil Pacific, choosing to expand their operations at Bankstown,” recently appointed BAL CEO Colin Grove said.
The expansion of Aeromil Pacific’s aviation operations will provide significantly increased capacity with hangar space of 3000sqm, a dedicated apron area for aircraft parking and a secure car parking area for clients and staff. The new facility is located at Site 521, adjacent to the Bankstown Airport Passenger Terminal and will offer considerable additional space for aircraft services and hangarage and extra support which will further enhance personal customer services.
“With ever increasing costs to business aviation using Sydney International Airport, we have taken this significant step in order to provide much greater capacity to support our Cessna and other business aircraft customers with maintenance, hangarage, secure parking and importantly, apron availability and FBO facilities at Sydney Metro Airport Bankstown,” Aeromil Pacific Managing Director Steve Padgett said.
“Through the use of our new facilities, we intend to make it substantially easier for domestic and international business aircraft to use Bankstown, as a viable and attractive alternative destination in Sydney.”
Aeromil expects to commence expanded operations from Site 521 in the last quarter of 2010.
