COLUMBIA, S.C. / May 23, 2018 / GENERAL AVIATION NEWS – Avfuel welcomed Columbia Aviation at Columbia Metropolitan Airport (KCAE) of South Carolina to its network of branded FBOs this month. 

In operation since 1982, the FBO is known for its experienced, accommodating staff and southern hospitality. Among its amenities and services are a pilot’s lounge, crew cars, conference room, flight planning room, a canteen, Wi-Fi, highly-trained line personnel, on-field customs and the best fuel price on the field (including avgas fuel specials on Saturdays and Sundays). As an Avfuel-branded FBO, Columbia Aviation also offers competitive prices with Avfuel Contract Fuel and loyalty rewards through AVTRIP—pilots can earn triple (6) AVTRIP Points per gallon through the end of June.

“The addition of Columbia Aviation to the Avfuel-branded Network provides a valuable service to our loyal pilots and flight departments,” said Joel Hirst, vice president of sales for Avfuel. “We are proud to be aligned with the Columbia Aviation team and are pleased to offer our customers a new gateway to the heart and capital of South Carolina.”
