Precision Air has taken over general aviation support at South Carolina’s Florence Regional Airport. The company, which also operates an FBO at nearby Santee Cooper Airport, was awarded a 15-year lease by the Pee Dee Regional Airport Authority, which had previously managed the facility. Under the terms of the lease contract, Precision Air will construct a new fuel farm, and it will soon embark on a renovation of the facility’s 2,500-sq-ft terminal, which will include a lobby area, conference room and flight planning room along with a pilots’ lounge.

The facility, the latest to join the Shell FBO network, will participate in the Shell AeroClass rewards and Shell Contract Fuel programs.

The location also provides maintenance and aircraft cleaning services. Normal operation hours are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. with after-hours callout available,.
