For the second year in a row, Wilson Air Center Chattanooga has been named the best Fixed Base Operator (FBO) in the country by Professional Pilot Magazine. The award is based on the feedback of hundreds of pilots who completed the 2021 PRASE (Preferences Regarding Aviation Services and Equipment) Survey, which ranked Chattanooga’s custom-designed general aviation campus the best in the United States.
"This designation for the second consecutive year further reinforces our shared commitment to providing a world-class experience in Chattanooga," said Glenn Rivenbark, general manager of the Wilson Air Center Chattanooga campus. "We very much appreciate the pilots and crews that paused to acknowledge our dedication, particularly this year as we worked through the many challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic."
Wilson Air Center, which also has locations in Charlotte, Houston and Memphis, has been voted the #1 Best U.S. Small FBO Chain fourteen times, including 2021. The Chattanooga campus includes a LEED Certified Platinum executive terminal, 120,000 square feet of hangar space and many amenities. The FBO also offers aircraft fueling, airline and freight handling, among many other services.
"Despite a tumultuous year for the aviation industry, the Wilson Air Chattanooga team was able to deliver the same excellent customer service and amenities to both pilots and passengers," said Terry Hart, president and CEO of the Chattanooga Airport. "We remain impressed by Glenn and his team, as well as their dedication to providing top-level service that earned them this prestigious honor for the second year in a row."
