Avfuel-branded fixed-base operator (FBO) Aviation Sales Inc., which has two locations in the “Birthplace of Aviation,” reported excellent turnout at regional aviation events this summer. As the official Preferred FBO for the Dayton Air Show, Aviation Sales’ Dayton International (DAY) location experienced a significant influx of business. The Aviation Sales DAY is also confirmed to be the Preferred FBO at next year’s show. 

Currently, Aviation Sales’ Dayton Wright Brothers (MGY) location is gearing up for Eldora Speedway races this September and the Comanche Aircraft Owners Fly-In set for October 13-16. 

“Aviation Sales locations outpaced other FBOs on their fields in terms of customer service,” said Vice President Phil Spaugy of the FBOs’ successes this summer. 

Indeed, each location offers pilots and passengers real advantages. The DAY Aviation Sales is the closest FBO to the runway – an important attribute in winning traffic over competing FBOs. Facilities are both pleasant and modern and are populated by a highly customer-service oriented staff. Each FBO is equipped with customer lounge, pilot lounge, conference rooms, snack and refreshment areas and on-site rental cars. Crew transportation is also available, and customers have access to free wireless internet service. Aviation Sales offers quick turns, a large ramp and overnight hangar space. 

Nearby, visitors will find the National Museum of the US Air Force, the Wright-Dunbar National Park and the Waco Field and Museum. Aviation Sales also offers the popular AVTRIP pilot rewards program and Avfuel Contract Fuel for less than retail prices on jet fuel. Aviation Sales holds events throughout the summer and fall months.

“It is the can-do attitude of Avfuel staff that attracted Aviation Sales to choose Avfuel Corporation as fuel supplier,” Spaugy said.
