A firm that specializes in managing regional airports is coming to Fishers. Jet Access, a Fixed Base Operator (FBO), plans on moving its headquarters from Mount Comfort Airport in Hancock County to leased office space in the Crosspoint office complex.
The firm plans to provide pilot and airplane mechanic training at the Fishers facility. Fishers Economic Development Director Megan Baumgartner says Jet Access will have access to training grants of up to $3,500 per new employee, with a cap of $70,000 total.
Jet Access plans to move 60 current employees to the new Fishers headquarters, with 20 new employees in the pipeline.
Jet Access currently manages 3 airports in this area – Mount Comfort, Eagle Creek and Zionsville/Carmel. The company hopes to expand into airports outside the state of Indiana.
The Fishers Economic Development Commission unanimously approved the Economic Development Agreement with Jet Access Monday afternoon.
