Tubreaux Aviation Services, the lone FBO at Northern Louisiana’s Shreveport Downtown Airport, is the latest to join the Avfuel Network as a branded dealer. Located two minutes from downtown, and near the area’s resorts and casinos, the FBO is an option for those heading to Shreveport for business or pleasure, as well as a tech stop for cross-country flights. The recently remodeled 1,500-sq-ft terminal offers a lounge, flight planning area, snooze room, crew, and rental cars. The facility has 10,000 sq ft of hangar space, which can accommodate aircraft up to a Challenger 300. It provides full-service fueling, with self-serve pumps available 24/7.

“Our commitment to the general aviation community is our biggest differentiator,” said Nicholas Delbasty, the location’s operations manager. “Each guest is served with a meticulous attention to detail and a sensitivity to their unique needs, while in a secure environment that affords the heightened privacy desired when flying privately.”

The location, which offers services including maintenance, charter, management, sales, and flight training, will now participate in Avfuel’s contract fuel and Avtrip rewards programs.

“We are pleased to add a premier FBO in a key region for our operator customers, to Avfuel’s family of branded locations,” said Mark Haynes, the fuel provider’s vice president of sales.
