Avfuel has increased its branded dealer network in the Pacific Northwest U.S. with the addition of the two Aero Centers FBOs in Spokane, Washington.
The rapidly growing chain recently opened a 36,000-sq-ft, $10 million facility at Spokane International Airport (KGEG). In addition to a 6,000-sq-ft terminal, it offers 27,000 sq ft of heated hangar space, which can accommodate ultra-long-range business jets.
In March, Aero Centers acquired Western Aviation—the lone FBO at nearby dedicated general aviation gateway Felts Field Airport, which has a 4,500-foot main runway. Its 35,000-sq-ft complex there includes 20,000 sq ft of hangars that can shelter aircraft up to a Cessna Citation Excel.
Both locations offer modern lobbies, conference rooms, pilot lounges and snooze rooms, shower facilities, and private workstations. As well, concierge services, dishwashing service, and courtesy crew cars are available. They will also offer contract fuel, participate in the fuel provider's customer loyalty program, and receive staff training via its FAA-approved training system.
“We congratulate Aero Centers on the opening of its new, state-of-the-art FBO and are honored to partner with its team members at both Spokane FBOs as they serve this vibrant region with the aviation services to match,” stated Joel Hirst, Avfuel’s senior v-p of sales. “Together we aim to exceed the expectations of pilots and passengers with streamlined services, reliable products, and valuable programs.”
