NEW CANAAN, Conn., July 27, 2015 – APP Jet Center, an operator of FBOs (Fixed Based Operations) and aviation real estate, earned top accolades from the 2015 FltPlan Pilots’ Choice Awards:
APP’s FBO in Manassas, Va. (serving Washington, D.C.) was named one of the top two FBOs in the Northeast U.S. and the 15th top FBO nationwide. Additionally, the Company’s base in Fort Pierce, Fla. was ranked as the nation’s #1 U.S. Customs point of entry.
“We are very proud of these rankings,” Thom Harrow, chief executive officer of APP Properties, Inc. (parent company of APP Jet Center), said. “They speak to the high level of service and dedication that our team delivers every day. We have terrific people at APP, executing difficult jobs 365 days a year.”
Harrow added: “Our Manassas team deserves kudos for ranking so highly in its region as well as nationwide, especially in the very competitive Washington D.C. market. Our location in Fort Pierce is served by an on-site U.S. Customs station, and clearance there is quicker and easier than at commercial airport locations elsewhere on Florida’s Atlantic Coast.”
Now in its sixth year, the Pilots’ Choice Awards are determined from thousands of votes cast by pilots who are FltPlan registered users. (FltPlan.com is the most comprehensive source for FBO information online and in the cockpit.) More than one thousand FBOs received votes from registered users and the pilots’ favorites reached the top. With more than 145,000 active, registered pilots, most of whom fly multiple weekly trips, FltPlan users are the customers who frequent these FBOs and airports.
