- Aircraft fueling
- Aircraft parking
- Hangar storage
- Ground support
- Passenger lounges
- Crew lounges
- Private Charter
- Concierge services
- Rental car coordination

Passenger amenities often include:
- Comfortable lounges

Providing crews with the resources they need contributes to safer, more efficient operations.
Concierge Services
Business aviation is built around flexibility, and FBO concierge teams help coordinate many of the details that make travel easier.
Depending on location, concierge services may assist with:
- Rental vehicles
- Hotel reservations
- Restaurant recommendations
- Catering coordination
- Local transportation
- Ride-share arrangements
- Special passenger requests
Every trip is unique, and personalized assistance helps simplify travel for passengers and crews alike.
Aircraft Support Services
An FBO provides far more than fueling.
Additional aircraft support services may include:
- Potable water service
- Lavatory service
- Oxygen service
- Nitrogen service
- Ground power units (GPU)
- Air start equipment
- Minor maintenance coordination
- Cleaning coordination
Having these services available in one location helps reduce delays and improve operational efficiency.
Why Quality FBO Services Matter
Choosing the right FBO affects more than convenience. Professional FBO services help operators:
- Reduce turnaround times
- Improve passenger satisfaction
- Support flight crew efficiency
- Protect valuable aircraft
- Maintain reliable fueling operations
- Coordinate logistics more effectively

Whether operating a single business aircraft or managing an entire fleet, dependable ground support allows crews to focus on the flight itself.

Frequently Asked Questions About FBO Services
Most FBOs provide aircraft fueling, aircraft parking, hangar space, passenger lounges, crew amenities, ground handling, concierge services, catering coordination, rental car assistance, and other support services for private aviation.
Commercial airlines generally operate through airline terminals and airport service providers. FBOs primarily serve private, business, charter, government, cargo, and general aviation aircraft.
An airport is the overall aviation facility with runways, taxiways, and infrastructure. An FBO is a business operating at the airport that provides services and facilities for aircraft, passengers, and flight crews.
No. While business jets are common, many FBOs also serve turboprops, piston aircraft, helicopters, government aircraft, cargo operators, military aircraft, and air ambulance flights.
In many cases, yes. One of the advantages of private aviation is that passengers often arrive much closer to departure time than they would for a commercial airline flight, though exact timing depends on the operator, airport, and security requirements.
