Aero Center Epps Atlanta at Peachtree Dekalb Airport (KPDK) is the latest service provider to join the Fly Louie Alliance Preferred FBO Network. Launched in 2019, the program aims to bring economy-of-scale savings to the independent charter market and other private aviation businesses, including access to savings programs through wholesale business opportunities.
The Epps FBO has been operating at KPDK since 1965, and the family-owned business was acquired by the growing Aero Center group earlier this year. According to the company, which now has five FBOs across the U.S., the decision to join the network is a move to expand its charter aircraft market service share at the airport—the second busiest in Georgia.
“We have seen good results from other Aero Center locations participating in the Fly Louie fuel savings program, and we’re excited to work with the Fly Louie team to help boost awareness of our great facilities and services at KPDK," said Jeremy Epperson, the facility's president.
The Alliance network includes more than 80 partners nationwide, with its members able to receive special fuel rates with the Fly Louie Avfuel card, as well as special discounts on hotel rates and other services.
