The Results Are In.
N
ow in it’s fifth year, the Pilots’ Choice Awards
continues to grow with more pilots casting votes
than ever before. With thousands of votes cast,
our pilots have chosen their favorites in the following
categories: Top U.S. FBOs, Top U.S. FBOs by region, Top
FBO Chains, Top Canadian FBOs, Top Caribbean FBOs, Top
Mexican FBOs, Top ATC Towers, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, and ATC Centers.
More than one thousand FBOs received votes from FltPlan
registered users and the pilots’ favorites reached the top.
With over 145,000 active, registered pilots, most of whom
fly multiple weekly trips, FltPlan users are the customers
who frequent these FBOs and airports. And FltPlan
has become the most comprehensive source for FBO
information online and in the cockpit.
We’ve included our Star and Ace awards again this year.
Star award winners are determined using airport arrival
data to generate a ranking that takes airport traffic and
competition on the field into account. The Ace award
recognizes the top 5 FBOs at airports with less than 4,000
arrivals per year.
Congratulations to all of our winners. Our pilots could not
do their jobs without your support and dedication.
McKinney Air Center was voted the top U.S. FBO this year. The
facility, located at KTKI in McKinney Texas, boasts a full range of services
and amenities. FltPlan pilots agree that they provide the exceptional
customer service that pilots and passengers have come to expect at this
general aviation hot spot.
