BURRELL AVIATION

  • Present

Mr. Burrell and the Company formed The Burrell Aviation Group (“Burrell Aviation”).

Through a public-private partnership model involving federal, state, and local government, Burrell Aviation is repositioning regional and municipal airports that have been historically underutilized and currently operate outside of North America’s core supply chain. By bringing such airfield locations into the mainstream commercial network, Burrell Aviation provides a convenient, flexible, and cost-efficient alternative to major hub locations, where freight carriers are currently experiencing rapidly escalating price structures and congestion, delayed delivery times, and other inefficiencies. To meet the needs of its customers, Burrell Aviation enters long-term leases with municipally owned airports. In coordination with Burrell Aviation, these municipalities are dedicated to improving their airport infrastructure to accommodate a broad range of tenants through a sublease agreement structure. The company also manages the construction of “build-to-suit” facilities to satisfy each client’s specific needs.
