Fleet growth is supported by opening of new Oxford, CT, FBO this winter and continued expansion of MRO capabilities in the Northeast.

(Los Angeles—June 27, 2023) Clay Lacy Aviation, the world’s most experienced operator of private jets, has added nine aircraft to its Part 135 charter certificate.

New FBO and Expanded MRO in Oxford, CT
Charter customers in the Northeast will be able to take advantage of Clay Lacy’s expansion of its Oxford facilities, including the opening of a new FBO this winter that features 120,000 SF of hangar space with 29-foot-tall hangar doors, private office suites with direct access to the hangar floor, covered auto-parking, and a certified carbon neutral facility. The Waterbury-Oxford Airport provides access to Connecticut’s longest GA runway and U.S. customs, and less congestion than other New York or Boston-adjacent airports.

“The steel structure has now gone vertical on our Oxford Development,” says Buddy Blackburn, Clay Lacy SVP FBO Operations. “We are actively accepting LOI’s for hangar and office space in the new facility scheduled to open this winter.”
