On January 1, Liberty University will acquire Falwell Aviation, a company that provides fixed-base operations like refueling for the Lynchburg Regional Airport, and charter flight services for area corporations.
With this merger, Dean Dave Young of Liberty's School of Aeronautics said the school will acquire both a profitable business and an opportunity for students to gain further hands-on experience.
It also means Liberty won't need to go through with plans to build its own aeronautics training facility, which had been presented to Campbell County supervisors as recently as October.
Liberty Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. said the chance to buy Falwell Aviation is a welcome surprise.
