Avfuel-Branded FBO Southfield Aviation (COE) Known for Privacy, High-Quality Service Among Coeur D’alene Travelers

Like many FBOs, Southfield Aviation – an Avfuel-branded dealer located at the Coeur d’Alene Airport - has seen its share of celebrity aviators and passengers. But unlike some other FBOs, nobody knows about it.

“We can completely isolate the aircraft of big-name guests and keep everything private,” said Jolene Compton, Marketing and Human Resources Representative. “We’ve become known for our ability to create this kind of privacy. People don’t find out the celebrities came through until long after they’ve left.”

Compton credits privately leased hangar space and a reliable staff for Southfield’s success in this area. “We have licensed and certified mechanics on-site to handle maintenance and repair issues and all staff here understand the value of confidentiality,” she said. “We have a reputation for being extremely trustworthy.”

Southfield Aviation’s high service standards are by no means limited to celebrity or corporate clients. As an Avfuel-branded dealer, Southfield Aviation offers Avfuel Contract Fuel and the AVTRIP pilot rewards program. Services and amenities include fuel, oxygen service, hangars, maintenance, pilot supplies, on-site rental cards and more. Staff can arrange for catering, accommodations, and transportation. Southfield Aviation is well-known for handling requests quickly and efficiently, and always in a friendly manner.

“We place a huge emphasis on customer service when we hire,” said Compton, “no matter which position we’re hiring for.”

Located roughly 40 minutes from Spokane, WA and boasting close proximity to a number of national parks and golf courses, the Coeur d’Alene region attracts a wide variety of domestic and international visitors. The mining industry brings in a number of business aviation clients, and summer homes located throughout the area keep the airport extra-busy from May through October.
