World Fuel has welcomed two new members to its sponsored Air Elite FBO Network, a global group of upscale service providers that must meet certain quality standards to qualify for admission.
Adding to the network’s international roster is DC Aviation G-Ops at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (LFMN), a major gateway to the French Riviera. It is located just 20 minutes from Cannes, 40 minutes from Monaco, and an hour from Saint-Tropez.
Befitting its clientele, the 3,230-sq-ft terminal features a high-end passenger lounge and a crew lounge. Services include VIP and crew transportation, refueling scheduling, and assistance with permits, slots, and customs and immigration clearance.
Tucson Jet Center—one of a quartet of service providers at Arizona's Tucson International Airport (KTUS)—is also the CAA-preferred FBO on the field. It offers a passenger lobby, concierge, pilot lounge with snooze room and shower facilities, flight planning area, conference room, coffee/refreshment bar, and crew car. Specializing in quick turns, the location provides rampside vehicle access.
The two additions bring the group to 85 locations globally. “We welcome Tucson Jet Center and DC Aviation G-Ops to the Air Elite Network,” said Malcolm Hawkins, World Fuel’s senior v-p for global business aviation. “Their dedication to excellence and customer service is core to the standards that our customers and network members depend on.”
