Huron Regional Airport in South Dakota is the latest location to be added to Revv Aviation’s FBO network. Huron is now the seventh FBO and the ninth operating location for the Revv family. Existing employees will be retained by Revv and additional staff will be added to the team as required.
“What Revv is doing in the Midwest is unique in that the company wants to revitalise small town airports and encourage people to visit and utilise their local air transportation centres,” said Larry Cooper, Huron Regional Airport Manager commenting on the new partnership. “Revv and CL Enterprises [Revv’s parent company] understand the economic vitality that local airports provide communities, and they plan to build upon that.”
Other FBOs in the Revv portfolio include: Aurora and Schaumburg in Illinois; Janesville in Wisonconsin; Muscatine, Davenport and Council Bluffs in Iowa. Revv also operates flight schools in Sioux City, Iowa and at Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska.
The operator’s CEO and President Guy Lieser sees great value at the Huron location. “It’s got a 7,200 ft by 100-ft wide runway with a 5,000-ft crosswind runway. Huron can handle any size aircraft,” he said. “We want to bring all of Revv’s services to Huron: maintenance, avionics, flight school and charter. Our PT-6 engine maintenance team is already expanding to Huron, which houses more than 30 crop dusters that require this type of service. There is also a good market for charter services in Huron, especially during the six-month pheasant hunting season.”
Lieser was joined by Peter Limberger, CEO and Chairman of CL Enterprises, who said: “As the new tenant of the FBO, we are encouraged by the warm welcome and are looking forward to many years of cooperation and being able to contribute to the economic development of the airport, the city and the region.”
