Aviation Term Of The Day - FBO (Fixed Base Operator)


FBO stands for Fixed Base Operators.
 fixed-base operators (FBO) are commercial businesses which have been granted the right to operate various services like  fueling, hangaring, and parking, aircraft rental, aircraft maintenance, flight instruction,and so on at an airport.


 They are mostly found at large airports and are increasingly becoming popular when it comes to private aviation.
 The most common of their operations are the hire of private jets.
 In short, fixed base operators are like a service station for private aircraft owners-more like the private jet terminal at an airport.
Their main services, besides ground and aircraft handling include lounge services for VIPs and diplomats,private jet hire as well as crisis or emergency flights.
