Infinity Aviation Group Acquires Corporate Air, Expanding Private-Jets FBO Network to South Florida

On May 12, 2026, Infinity Aviation Group officially announced its acquisition of Corporate Air, a premier Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) situated at Vero Beach Regional Airport (VRB) in Florida. According to the company’s press release, this acquisition represents a major strategic expansion into the highly active South Florida private aviation market, establishing a second major hub for Infinity’s growing national network.

The transaction transitions a highly respected, family-owned FBO with nearly four decades of operational history into a corporate portfolio backed by Igneo Infrastructure Partners, a global investment manager. By securing this location, Infinity Aviation Group aims to capture a larger share of the East Coast’s private jet traffic, offering an uncongested alternative to traditional South Florida hubs.

We at AirPro News have reviewed the acquisition details and the broader market context to understand how this move impacts the regional business aviation landscape, particularly for operators of heavy, ultra-long-range aircraft.

Strategic Assets and Infrastructure

Upgraded Facilities for Heavy Jets

Based on the provided research data, the acquisition brings a substantial physical footprint under Infinity Aviation Group’s control. The Corporate Air facility includes eight climate-controlled hangars totaling over 106,500 square feet. Notably, the newest hangars, completed in 2024, are specifically designed to accommodate heavy aircraft up to the size of a Bombardier Global 7500.

In addition to the hangar space, Infinity acquires a 350,000-square-foot ramp area featuring direct access to the primary runway, which is noted as the largest ramp space within a 150-mile radius. Passenger and crew amenities are housed in a 5,000-square-foot state-of-the-art FBO terminal equipped with premium lounges, conference rooms, and high-speed Wi-Fi.

“With the Acquisitions of the Corporate Air FBO, we are adding a key South Florida location to our growing network.”

International Gateway Capabilities

A critical asset included in the buyout is Corporate Air’s exclusive on-site U.S. Customs and Border Protection clearance facility. According to industry reports, this allows the Vero Beach location to seamlessly process international arrivals from regions such as the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and South America, bypassing the need for clients to clear customs at busier commercial Airports.

The Legacy of Corporate Air and Vero Beach

A 35-Year Foundation

Corporate Air was founded in 1987 by Rodger Pridgeon, an aircraft maintenance technician who built the company into an award-winning facility. Pridgeon’s leadership earned him the title of 2022 South Florida District SBA Small Business Person of the Year. The FBO has built a strong reputation for customer service, competitive AEG Fuels pricing, and high-level aircraft maintenance, including certifications from the American Bonanza Society and capabilities for Dassault Falcon Jet maintenance.

Vero Beach Regional Airport (VRB)

The host airport, Vero Beach Regional, spans 1,707 acres and features three runways, with the longest measuring 7,314 feet. Research data indicates the airport averages more than 560 flight operations daily, predominantly serving general and corporate aviation. VRB serves as a highly attractive, less-congested alternative to nearby South Florida hubs like West Palm Beach (PBI) and Stuart (SUA).

The Broader Network Strategy

Connecting the East Coast

Infinity Aviation Group, headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, is the FBO platform of Igneo Infrastructure Partners, which manages over $20.5 billion in assets. Launched in June 2025, the Infinity platform is led by CEO Steven Levesque, a 25-year aviation industry veteran and former U.S. Navy Reserve commanding officer with previous executive experience at Hawthorne Global Aviation Services and Leading Edge Jet Centers.

Prior to the Vero Beach acquisition, Infinity’s flagship location was at Boire Field (KASH) in Nashua, New Hampshire. Just weeks before the Corporate Air deal, Infinity unveiled a massive remodel of its Nashua FBO, which features over 150,000 square feet of hangar space serving the Boston and New England region.

“Vero Beach offers outstanding infrastructure with extensive modern hangar space capable of accommodating heavy jets, and additional hangar capacity is on the way.”

AirPro News analysis

We view this acquisition as a textbook execution of the “Snowbird” synergy strategy. By pairing a premier FBO in South Florida with a flagship location in New England, Infinity Aviation is perfectly positioned to capture the lucrative North-South private jet traffic routing between the Northeast and Florida. Furthermore, the business aviation sector’s ongoing shift toward larger, ultra-long-range business jets, such as the Gulfstream G700 and Global 7500, makes Corporate Air’s 2024 hangar expansions a highly valuable, forward-looking asset. The inclusion of an on-site U.S. Customs facility acts as a significant competitive moat, allowing Infinity to attract international traffic that might otherwise default to Palm Beach International.
