Justice Department Will Not Oppose Page Avjet/Butler Aviation Merger Following Actions Taken to Eliminate Competitive Concerns The Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, will not oppose Page Avjet Airport Services Inc.'s (of Orlando, Florida) proposed acquisition of Butler Aviation International Inc. (of Irving, Texas) after the parties eliminated the competitive concerns at Boston's Logan International Airport. Both companies provide fixed base operator (FBO) services to general aviation customers at various airports throughout the United States. FBO services include the sale of jet fuel and the provision of terminal services to general aviation customers. Page Avjet and Butler Aviation are the two largest FBOs in the United States with 1991 total revenues of $156 million and $101 million, respectively, and the only two FBOs at Boston's Logan International Airport. The parties agreed to relinquish, simultaneously with the closing of their transaction, their leasehold on half of the general aviation terminal to Massport, the airport authority governing Logan. Massport can relet this lease, creating a second competing FBO at Logan.
