FlyXcite FBO Opens at London Ontario Airport CYXU

FlyXcite FBO officially opened its new facility at London International Airport (CYXU) in Ontario, Canada, on June 9, 2026, introducing a European-inspired operational model to the North American business aviation market.

Announced in a company press release, the launch brings 35,000 square feet of modern hangar space and flexible office rentals to the region. The development is part of a broader provincial expansion strategy for the company, aimed at providing private and corporate operators with increased cost control and service flexibility.

Facility specifications and service model

The newly inaugurated CYXU complex features 35,000 square feet of hangar capacity available for nightly, weekly, or monthly rental. The infrastructure is designed to accommodate a range of corporate aircraft while offering customizable office spaces for transient or based operators.

According to the press release, the facility distinguishes itself through an alternative fuel and operational model inspired by European aviation practices. FlyXcite FBO Chief Executive Officer Nick Erb stated that the approach is intended to challenge conventional North American fixed-base operator (FBO) frameworks.

“We’re delivering a facility that not only meets the highest standards of comfort and service but also gives operators more choice and control, something the North American market has been missing,” Erb said.

Broader Ontario expansion strategy

The London launch follows previous announcements regarding FlyXcite’s growing footprint in the Canadian business aviation sector. On October 24, 2024, the company revealed its plans for the CYXU location during a groundbreaking ceremony for another major project at Hamilton International Airport.

The Hamilton development represents an estimated $50 million investment, encompassing a planned 100,000-square-foot FBO facility. Together, the London and Hamilton locations signal a concerted effort by FlyXcite to capture a larger share of the corporate aviation service market in southern Ontario.

AirPro News analysis

We note that while FlyXcite heavily promotes its innovative fuel model as the first of its kind in North America, the company has not yet released specific technical or pricing details explaining how this program diverges from standard FBO fuel purchasing agreements. The success of this European-inspired model in Canada will likely depend on how transparently these cost-control mechanisms are implemented for fleet operators. If the model proves financially advantageous, it could pressure competing FBO networks in the region to revise their own pricing structures to retain based aircraft.
