Carver Aero Acquires Janesville Jet Center

Published in Midwest Flyer Magazine August/September 2021 online issue

DAVENPORT, IOWA – Carver Aero has announced that it has acquired the fixed-base operation Janesville Jet Center at Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport in Janesville, Wisconsin. Carver Aero is continuing to expand its full-service FBO network throughout the Midwest. In addition to Janesville, the company operates FBOs in Muscatine, Davenport and Council Bluffs, Iowa.

“We have three key initiatives with the Janesville FBO,” said Carver Aero CEO Guy Lieser. “One is to work with existing airfield businesses and tenants to determine what opportunities exist to benefit all. A second is to offer services not currently being offered, such as aircraft maintenance, avionics and charter services with our fleet of turboprops. Finally, we believe smaller airports should be contributors to the local economy and be an integral part of the community.” 

“The Janesville FBO fits into our business strategy to expand into smaller communities throughout the Midwest, and this acquisition expands our footprint into Wisconsin,” said Peter Limberger, Chairman of Carver Aero, and co-founder and Chairman/ CEO of CL Enterprises, the holding company for Carver Aero. “This airfield can accommodate higher volumes and larger planes,” Limberger said. “That means greater opportunity.” 

Greg Cullen, Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport Director, welcomes the new ownership of the FBO. “Carver Aero brings additional capital and resources to expand aviation services on the airfield and has already reached out to existing businesses to determine how they can grow overall operations at the airport. This should be a win for everybody.”  

Based in Peru, Illinois, CL Enterprises (www.cl-enterprises.com) is the family holding company for businesses owned and managed by husband and wife, Peter Limberger and Inga Carus. Both are pilots. CLE invests in a wide variety of businesses ranging from farming, manufacturing, hospitality, real estate development, to aviation, with a focus to participate in the economic development of smaller towns and rural regions.
