Tac Air To Consolidate FBOs at Little Rock Airport

As it prepares for the start of NBAA’s annual Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference in San Jose, Calif., Dallas-based Tac Air announced that it has purchased the FBO services portion of Central Flying Service at Little Rock (Ark.) Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport. Under the terms of the agreement Tac Air will assume the FBO's fueling, ground handling and hangar operations, in essence becoming the lone aviation services provider on the field. Central Flying Service will continue to provide aircraft sales, charter, flight training and maintenance as a tenant of Tac Air. The former Central Flying Service terminal in Hangar 1 will continue to house the Flightdeck Restaurant and catering facility, as well as Central Flying’s sales, charter and flight training operations.

"The move makes sense for everyone," noted Tac Air vice president and COO Christian Sasfai. “Through our volume fuel buying capability, fuel supply and other services will be improved at LIT.”

Last summer, Tac Air acquired the former Supermarine FBO at the airport, which at the time expanded the company’s network to 14 locations nationwide. The company has pledged to invest “several million dollars” on the west side of the airport where the general aviation facilities are situated, including a possible new terminal.
