Situated just south of Houston’s major metro ground and air traffic region out of Class B airspace, Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport is flight operators’ premier FBO choice when expedience matters while visiting the Houston and Brazoria County areas. Its full-service FBO facility is complete with professional pilot amenities and beautiful, pristine facilities for all visitors. The FBO provides competitive fuel rates with Avfuel Contract Fuel, lucrative AVTRIP rewards for pilots, full-service jet fuel and avgas, self-serve avgas, quick turns, ground and passenger handling, temporary hangar storage, GPU services (discounted with a fuel purchase), free Wi-Fi, after-hours services on call, rental cars, limousine rental services, and a courtesy car. All services are delivered with first-rate customer care and the traditional southern hospitality for which Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport prides itself. The airport is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and features a 7,000-foot runway, 635 acres of space, a flight school, a café for dining and catering needs, and on-site Avis/Budget Car rental facilities.  

“We’re proud to serve Brazoria County as a gateway to our community and an economic engine for our region,” said Jeff Bilyeu, director of aviation for Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport. “Part of that means providing an exceptional service with safety and care always top of mind to continuously draw in customers. We believe our decision to partner with Avfuel will help to drive more opportunities for the airport and those who benefit from its services.”

In addition to Avfuel Contract Fuel pricing, customers will benefit from transaction ease when using the Avfuel Pro Card at Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport with the ability to put everything—fuel and non-fuel items with or without a fuel purchase—on one transaction, avoiding any fees. 

Mark Haynes, vice president of sales for Avfuel Corporation, said, “Adding Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport to the Avfuel Network of Independent FBOs will benefit our loyal operators with a new key location in the Houston and Gulf Coast region. The airport serves its community well with pride in safety and service, and we look forward to being a part of its operation.”
