Border Air Ltd.

Welcome to Border Air Ltd. the biggest little FBO around.

Border Air Ltd provides service and support to all piston aircraft that can land on a 4000′ x 75′ strip (and even a few that can’t).

Opened in 1994 by George Coy and Mike Reed, Border Air Ltd. has operates the Franklin County airport (KFSO) on behalf of the State of Vermont Agency of Transportation.

In the 1990’s, with its sister companies Yak West and Gesoco Industries, Border Air Ltd. became synonymous with importation and sales of former Soviet Bloc aircraft most notably the Yak-52.

From 1994 to 2008 Border Air imported over 350 aircraft and became the factory representatives for Aerostar, the manufacturer of the Yak-52 , and MotorStar, the manufacturer of the M14-P radial engine.

In addition to bringing an international flair to the region, Border Air Ltd has shepherded the growth of the Franklin County Airport from a few buildings with a grass parking lot to a full fledged airport double its size with over 80 based aircraft.

Today this airport is home to
