Private Aviation Company Avflight Willow Run East (YIP) Helps Region Attract Visitors to the 2009 NCAA Final Four
/
Avflight Willow RunAvflight Willow Run East (YIP), located at the Willow Run Airport (YIP), just seven miles from Detroit Metro Airport (DTW), expects increased aviation traffic in April as visitors fly in and out for the 2009 NCAA Final Four. The expected volume is particularly impressive in light of current economic climates in both metro Detroit and the country at large.
To encourage aviation customers to make the trip, Avflight is providing incentives, such as fueling rewards and volume discounts as well as enhanced on-site amenities, such as catering for all four games and grand prize drawings for AVTRIP points and free gifts, in addition to its already full array of offerings. Of course, every screen at the full-service FBO will be showing the games. Finally, 10 AVTRIP points will be awarded per gallon of fuel purchased between now and April 7. Most importantly, Avflight’s management hopes to attract savvy flight departments with Avfuel’s Contract Fuel program for less than retail rates on jet fuel. Indeed, corporate aviators typically seek less commercial airports for large-volume regional events such as this one to avoid air congestion.
Recently Avflight Willow Run East showcased its abilities to the world when it managed a large influx of visitors to the 2006 Super Bowl XL. Direct access to local highways made Avflight of particular value to aviation visitors bound for the event. Today, Carl Muhs, President of Avflight Willow Run East, is looking forward to the 2009 NCAA Final Four in April and the similarly large crowd the event is bound to draw.
“We played a large role in hosting and helping host Super Bowl XL in Detroit because we’re only seven miles from Detroit Metro Airport,” Muhs said. “And I think the smoothness with which Avflight functioned during the Super Bowl is a reliable indication of our abilities to handle future situations like the NCAA Tournaments with the same or higher level of service.”
Pilot services include the convenience of weather planning radar, web access and a sleek and professional conference room. Certified and experienced line technicians are equipped to attend to all of your aircraft needs, like quick-turn fueling and cargo or baggage handling. Aircraft detailing, de-ice, airstart, preheat and heated hangars are always available.
