Sun Air Jets is celebrating the milestone 20th anniversary of its FBO in southern California. The KCMA FBO, located in Camarillo, California, received its official certification in January 2002. Initially launched with just the FBO, Sun Air Jets has now grown into a multi-faceted boutique aviation business with over 100 employees and multiple locations. The company now also provides aircraft management, charter flight services, aircraft maintenance and expansive hangar availability along with its FBO offerings.
The Camarillo facilities were constructed over the course of 10 years in 3 phases. The FBO design was started in January of 2000 and officially opened in January of 2002. Later, the western hangars and fuel farm were added in August of 2005 and the eastern hangars finished in November of 2010. KCMA was one of the first FBOs in southern California to carry sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and was recently awarded a Green Aviation Business certification by the National Air Transportation Association (NATA). The FBO is proud to be a Signature Select branded facility.
Sun Air Jets President Brian Counsil states “When I started working at Sun Air and we had the dream and concept of constructing the Camarillo FBO, we could never have imagined the growth and success of the facility. Business aviation activity at the Camarillo Airport has increased in the last 20 years and now provides significant employment opportunities and substantial economic benefit to the airport and local economy."
