Vantage Group, a global leader in airport and transportation infrastructure development and management, has announced the acquisition of FSM Management Group (FSM), an industry-leading fuel and glycol infrastructure development and management company and aviation energy logistics company AvEnergy. The acquisition further positions Vantage Group as a leader in managing and modernizing aviation infrastructure for a more connected and sustainable future.
Montreal-based FSM works on behalf of global airline partners developing, constructing and managing airport infrastructure required to ensure a safe, reliable, and secure supply of both jet fuel and de-icing services.

In addition to having similar and complementary business models, our teams have worked together over the years, proving FSM and AvEnergy to be a strong cultural fit.”
The transaction aligns with Vantage’s strategic objectives and further enhances its expertise and capabilities in critical aviation infrastructure and sustainable energy solutions. As the aviation industry continues to adapt to shifting market demands, Vantage Group’s extensive development, operational and energy capabilities will enable expanded service offerings across its network of airport and airline partnerships.
