“Our partnerships with these four companies strengthen our network, incorporating 20 premier aviation service locations stretching from the Caribbean to New York and West,” said Joel Hirst, Avfuel’s vice president of sales. “These award-winning locations are valuable for operators flying throughout the Avfuel Network in North America and Europe.”
Bohlke International Airways is a distinguished FBO, charter operator and Part 145 repair station located in St. Croix—part of the United States Virgin Islands. The operation is a critical hub for travelers looking to conduct business throughout the Caribbean, as well as travelers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of life for a tranquil experience in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Offering the only hangar facilities in the southern Caribbean, Bohlke International Airways provides the most complete suite of aviation care and services for island travelers.
Stateside, effective mid-October, Avfuel entered into a branding partnership with Denver jetCenter at Centennial Airport (APA), just 12 miles from the city’s downtown district. The full-service FBO is consistently ranked among the nation’s best by readers of Pro Pilot magazine and AIN. Guests to Denver jetCenter benefit from a nationally-recognized caterer—The Perfect Landing Restaurant—outstanding customer care with team members who prioritize safety above all else, on-site customs, crew and rental cars, five conference rooms and a pilot’s lounge.
Avfuel’s renewed partnership with Sheltair means it will continue to brand all 17 of its FBOs as key locations for the Avfuel Network. These include 11 FBOs in Florida—Daytona Beach (DAB), Panama City (ECP), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Jacksonville (JAX), Lakeland (LAL), Orlando (ORL), Ocala (OCF), St. Petersburg (PIE), Pompano Beach (PMP), St. Petersburg (SPG) and Tampa (TPA)—one in Georgia—Savannah (SAV)—and five in New York—Westhampton Beach (FOK), Farmingdale (FRG), Islip (ISP), and New York City (JFK & LGA).
The Sheltair name is synonymous with first-class comfort, care and safety in the aviation industry, providing competitive products and services in some of the nation’s largest markets for international business, government, leisure and sports.
“Our partnership with Sheltair these past four years has been of extreme value for flight operators throughout the network,” said Hirst. “The company’s unwavering focus on service and safety provides flight departments with premier options along the East Coast when choosing to fly within the Avfuel Network. A renewed partnership is beneficial for all parties involved: Avfuel, Sheltair, pilots and passengers.”
In addition to these partnerships, Avfuel also announced new/renewed branding relationships with Air Service Basel (LFSB/BSL), ACI Jet Orange County (KSNA), Castle & Cooke Aviation (KVNY, PHNL, KPAE) and Texas Aero (KACT) earlier in the year.
