Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • April 2026 waived World Cup special-event fees across all U.S. FBO locations.
  • Clay Lacy offered SAF at all FBOs and ran carbon-neutral facilities since 2019.
  • The Solairus deal preserves FBOs and maintenance, letting Clay Lacy refocus capital.

What critics are saying

  • Solairus buys Clay Lacy management and charter, stripping roughly 140 aircraft revenue by September 2026.
  • Six-month migration risks client defections to Solairus and employee turnover.
  • If FBO and maintenance margins weaken, Clay Lacy becomes a smaller standalone niche operator.

What makes Clay Lacy Aviation unique

  • Clay Lacy’s John Wayne FBO ranked top in AIN 2026 for line and customer service.
  • Van Nuys pairs private FBO access with 24/7 FAA Part 145 AOG support.
  • Its Oxford and Orange County network combines SAF, maintenance, and carbon-neutral facilities.

Solairus Aviation. Solairus To Acquire Clay Lacy Air Charter Management Biz Combined fleet would top 500 managed aircraft August 7, 2026 Solairus Aviation is acquiring Clay Lacy Aviation's aircraft management and charter divisions, which would push the former's managed fleet beyond 500 aircraft. According to Solairus, this deal - announced today and set to close next month - will make it the world's largest business aircraft management provider. Brian Kirkdoffer, chair of Clay Lacy's board, said the deal will allow Clay Lacy to sharpen its focus on its remaining FBO, maintenance, and real estate operations. The deal is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Financial terms were not disclosed. "With this transaction, Solairus solidifies its position as the leading pure-play aircraft management company in the world," said Solairus founder and CEO Dan Drohan. "It is about people, relationships, trust, and service." The combined company will be "better equipped to enhance the client experience while maintaining the high-touch, personalized management services that have been the hallmark of Solairus and Clay Lacy," he added. The deal stemmed from overlapping values between the two companies around safety and culture, Kirkdoffer said. "We know that we're putting our valued clients in good hands with Solairus." Solairus currently manages roughly 360 aircraft from more than 100 bases across North America, while Clay Lacy manages about 140 aircraft. Once the deal closes, Solairus will run the combined operation out of its Petaluma, California headquarters, as well as offices in Los Angeles and New York.
