EXXONMOBIL'S AVITAT RECOGNIZED AGAIN
FAIRFAX, VA—April 7, 2005. Just days after Avitat was recognized as the best
overall FBO chain by Professional Pilot’s PRASE survey, Avitat scored top
honors in a similar survey conducted by Aviation International News (AIN).
For the third time in four years, Avitat was rated the best overall Fixed Base
Operations (FBO) chain in the PRASE survey of general aviation pilots.
Additionally, six Avitats placed in the top 50 US FBOs, counting among them
the number one FBO in the country. Finally, on the international front, five
of the top twelve FBOs were Avitat facilities. Avitat was ranked above all
other FBO chains based on a rating system covering key criteria including fast
fuel, attentive CSRs, special services, and helpful attitudes.
Meanwhile, in the Aviation International News FBO Survey, there were 11
Avitats in the top 30—more than any other FBO network. AIN asked each
respondent to rate each FBO based on the following criteria: line service,
passenger amenities, pilot amenities and service, and facilities.
“Having Avitat so well represented among the top FBOs is extremely satisfying
to the ExxonMobil Aviation family. Avitat places a premium on taking the very
best care of their customers, and it’s great to see that pilots are taking
notice. Our philosophy, that there’s no such thing as a minor detail, is a
credo we continually try to live up to,” says Herb Rusk, ExxonMobil Aviation's
Global General Aviation Manager. “It’s great to see we’re being recognized
for that.”
Avitat and ExxonMobil Aviation-branded FBOs provide fueling and other services
for corporate and general aviation aircraft, crews and passengers at more than
700 airports worldwide.
