Jet Aviation Signs Lease for New FBO at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport
TETERBORO, N.J. / June 23, 2026 – Jet Aviation announced today that it has signed a 30-year lease
with SR Aviation Infrastructure (“SRAI”) and Business Aviation Group, LLC (“BA Group”), to operate
an FBO at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport. The FBO is part of a newly developed aviation
campus at the airport and is scheduled to launch operations in 2028.
The state-of-the-art, 15-acre facility will feature a 7,500 square-foot FBO, with 70,000 square feet of hangar space and over 200,000 square feet of ramp. Situated on the south side of the airfield, it offers efficient access to downtown Denver as well as Rocky Mountain destinations such as Aspen and Vail.
“We are committed to growing our network in ways that support our customers’ evolving needs and enable them to operate their aircraft effortlessly,” says Jeremie Caillet, president. “Our FBOs across the world have been carefully curated to offer seamless service in the destinations we know our customers are traveling to, or have aircraft based in. Bringing the Jet Aviation experience to Colorado is the latest step in this global offering, as we continue to look for opportunities to support our customers where and when they need us.”
Breaking ground on the FBO is expected in early 2027, with operations scheduled to launch in 2028.
“We look forward to working closely with our partners, the airport and the local community, to design and build a world-class FBO that brings our commitment to safety, operational excellence, and seamless, personalized service to Colorado.”
“With its proximity to both the city and surrounding ski areas, Rocky Mountain Airport continues to grow as a key hub for our US and international customers,” says David Best, senior vice president regional operations & GM Americas. “The facility will join a network of 12 FBOs in the region, and some 30 worldwide, enabling seamless connections for customers traveling to this popular destination. We look forward to working closely with our partners, the airport and the local community, to design and build a world-class FBO that brings our commitment to safety, operational excellence, and seamless, personalized service to Colorado.”
The facility will be part of a new aviation campus jointly developed by BA Group and SRAI.
“Partnering with Jet Aviation and BA Group on SRAI Rocky Mountain reflects our platform’s continued focus on aligning with premier operators and development partners in high-growth markets,” said Jonathon Reeser, President of SR Aviation Infrastructure. “Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport provides a compelling entry point into a robust private aviation market with limited available hangar supply. This project underscores our commitment to delivering institutional-quality facilities that meet the evolving needs of private and business aviation.”
“This project represents a meaningful step forward for Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport and the long term development of the south side of the field,” said Iver Retrum, CEO of Business Aviation Group. “With Jet Aviation as the anchor FBO and SRAI joining as our partner, this campus has the opportunity to establish a new gateway for aviation activity at BJC.”
