Why Mach10 Aviation?

Filling a Critical Void

Mach10 Aviation was established to address a major gap in the FBO industry: the need for a trusted, performance-driven partner who understands the operational and financial complexities unique to general aviation.

A Passion for Aviation – and Business

When our President & CEO, George Pero, is not on the phone facilitating a deal, you’ll find him in the cockpit doing what he enjoys the most – piloting. Having been responsible for more than a $ billion in M&A transactions, George enjoys dealmaking almost as much as flying.

Strategic Advisory, Aviation-Specific

Our team combines M&A rigor with hands-on aviation operational knowledge. From creating the ideal and expected customer experience, hangar utilization, fueling margins to regulatory compliance, we know what moves the needle.

Tailored, Results-Driven Solutions

Every FBO is different. We assess your business with a 360° view, deliver a customized plan to unlock growth, and support your team every step of the way.

Beyond the Transaction

We don’t just close deals. We help optimize performance before a sale and minimize disruption post-acquisition, ensuring long-term value creation.

The Importance of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Compliance

Regulatory compliance is critical to FBO value and longevity. At Mach10 Aviation, we ensure your operation meets Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) in every transaction – buying or selling. Our team handles due diligence, mitigates risk, and helps safeguard your investment and reputation.
