With the opening of the Beacon Air Group facility, aircraft operators visiting Montana’s Billings Logan International Airport (KBIL) now have their choice of two FBOs.
“We are honored to serve as the region’s new premier FBO option, connecting aviators with the beauty and bustle of southern Montana,” said company owner Joel Simmons. “Every aspect of Beacon Air Group was designed with our customers’ needs in mind, from the facilities that house our operation to the services we provide out of it.”
The 9,000-sq-ft private aircraft terminal features a pet-friendly lobby; a pair of six-seat conference rooms; 50-seat seminar room; business center; crew lounge; coffee bistro; laundry and dishwashing service; and crew cars.
The facility also provides 36,000 sq ft of heated hangar space capable of sheltering aircraft up to a Gulfstream G600. Beacon Air also offers aircraft management and charter broker services.
As an Avfuel dealer, the FBO will participate in the fuel provider’s contract fuel and customer loyalty programs.
“The Avfuel team congratulates Beacon Air Group on the opening of its first-in-class FBO,” said David Mittleman, the Michigan-based company’s senior sales manager for the western U.S. “With this partnership, we’re able to connect our 6,000-plus flight department customers with the top-notch services and facilities Beacon Air Group has to offer.”
