Post-Ownership-Change Infinity Aviation North-South Positioning Forms; South Florida Three Airports Business Jet Movements Broadly YoY −4 to −6%
Analysis
Infinity Aviation on May 13, 2026 announced adding second FBO site in South Florida, forming north-south complementary positioning with New Hampshire headquarters. The company after 2025 ownership change accelerated expansion — characterized by AIN as 'growing FBO chain.' But South Florida market overall under pressure: 2026 YTD three major business jet airports KPBI (−6.4%), KOPF (−4.1%), KFLL (−3.5%) broadly declined — combined ~3,726 movements reduced. New entrant expanding during market contraction — whether its differentiated positioning can attract customers against trend warrants attention. Confidence ★★.
