Clay Lacy Aviation has become the latest FBO operator to join the World Fuel Services-sponsored Air Elite network. The agreement includes both of the company’s bases at Van Nuys (Calif.) and Seattle Boeing Field/King County International airports. The locations–which offer a wide range of services such as aircraft charter and management, maintenance and aircraft sales–will also become Ascent Fuel branded.

“We are excited to join Air Elite’s worldwide network of uniquely exceptional FBOs,” said Clay Lacy president and CEO Brian Kirkdoffer. “The company’s global resources and expert team of professionals provide us the best tools and resources to continually enhance the FBO experience for passengers and their crewmembers.” Both locations provide 24/7 quick turn service, availability of U.S. Customs points-of-entry and drive-up ramp access.

Over the past year, Air Elite has bolstered its roster with six other FBOs, including KaiserAir in Oakland, Calif.; Dassault Falcon Service at Paris Le Bourget; Grafair Jet Center in Stockholm, Sweden; Sky Services’ locations in Milan and Venice, Italy; and the Yu Lounge in Mauritius. Combined, they bring the upscale group’s membership to 51 FBOs worldwide.
