APP Jet Center Unveils Renovated Florida FBO

APP Jet Center has completed a six-month-long renovation of its FBO at Treasure Coast International Airport (KFPR) in Fort Pierce, Florida. According to a company spokesperson, the 6,200-sq-ft terminal was gutted down to the studs and rebuilt.

The lobby reception area and Airport Tiki restaurant were opened up and brightened to allow customers a view of the ramp and runway. (The restaurant kitchen can also provide catering upon request.) As well, the pilot lounge and flight-planning areas were updated while maintaining the laid-back atmosphere for which the facility is known.

A new line service office was added, giving the crew a better view of the ramp, along with a state-of-the-art aircraft tracking system, as APP strives to deliver “an elevated experience rooted in safety, efficiency, and personalized service.”

In addition to KFPR, APP has FBOs at Witham Field Airport (KSUA) in Stuart, Florida; San Francisco-area Hayward Executive Airport (KHWD); and Manassas Regional Airport (KHEF) in Northern Virginia. The investment from the company—which was recently sold—comes as business aviation activity continues to grow, particularly in the busy South Florida market.

“Treasure Coast International Airport is uniquely positioned as both a gateway to this community and a strategic alternative to congested South Florida airports,” said outgoing APP CEO Dan Harrow. “We’ve long been recognized as one of the most efficient and welcoming ports of entry to travelers arriving from the Bahamas and throughout the Caribbean.”
