Ross Aviation expands leasehold and hangar capacity at Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in Thermal, CA (KTRM)

Ross Aviation has expanded its footprint and hangar capacity at the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in Thermal, CA (KTRM) by purchasing a modern, 26,000 sq. ft. storage hangar that is immediately adjacent to its executive terminal.

Ross Aviation also leased an additional 2.2-acre parcel of completed "heavy ramp" from Riverside County EDA, which is the airport authority. The additional 2.2 acres of completed ramp are located immediately in front of the hangar and are contiguous to the existing Ross Aviation leasehold and ramp. The hangar was constructed in 2014 and was owned by a local businessman and aviation enthusiast, Richard Oliphant.

"Given the growth on the airport, it made absolute sense for us to purchase the hangar and lease the additional ramp. The additional ramp and available hangar space will greatly improve our ability to service our customers and provide space during the busy winter season when the Coachella Valley is host to numerous events and influx of seasonal residents, which attract dozens of business and general aviation aircraft," said Cy Farmer, chief operating officer.

Ross Aviation's executive team brings over 100 years of experience to each location, partnering with trusted local management at every FBO. Ross Aviation is well known for its superior customer service, with a particular emphasis on a philosophy that embraces the uniqueness of each airport and FBO market. The company also firmly supports a decentralized system whereby managers are granted authority and responsibility to operate and optimize their business based upon the unique circumstances of each specific market. This decentralized approach coupled with strong relationships with the local airport authorities at each airfield should facilitate a seamless transition upon acquisition as well as long term success for the businesses.
