Generation Aviation Philosophy at NBAA
2007
Leading Aviation Firm
Celebrates 10 Years, Sets Example with Strategic
Vision for the Future
ATLANTA &emdash;
(September 25, 2007) &emdash; Jet Source, an
award-winning full-service aviation firm, will
demonstrate it's leadership position in the
industry at the National Business Aviation
Association (NBAA) 60th Annual Meeting and
Convention (booth #6041). With more than ten
years of success and a track-record of excellence,
Jet Source is focused on maintaining a leading-edge
for the next generation of aviation through a
variety of innovative advancements and
accomplishments, including:
A Commitment to
GREEN Technology and Sustainable Design
In 2005, Jet Source
became the first (and is still the only) FBO in the
country to be powered by solar energy.
Further, Jet Source has also installed a lighting
and HVAC system designed to reduce overall energy
usage by more than 50 percent, which has saved the
company more than 90 percent on energy
bills.
With its
solar-powered system in place, Jet Source has also
been able to contribute additional electricity to
the grid at the peak hours of the day, when energy
is in high demand, to reduce the threat of rolling
"brown-outs" for the surrounding community of
businesses and residents.
"As a leader in
this industry, it's incredibly important to
recognize our responsibility to support a clean
environment," said Frank Milian, president and COO
at Jet Source. "We understand that investing
in renewable energy solutions is a critical
component for the future of aviation and we're
proud of our ability to find new ways of doing that
to increase efficiency and reduce
costs."
Launching New Facility in
Nevada
Adding solar power
has been so successful for Jet Source, that the
company will also incorporate a similar system into
its second facility in Henderson, Nevada, which is
set to open in 2009. Henderson's
state-of-the-art facility will consist of two
35,000 square foot hangars and an executive
terminal with exclusive amenities, a special VIP
room and concierge-style services for its
customers.
One of Henderson's
hangars will be dedicated to its aircraft
management and charter operation, where it expects
to house eight to ten business aircraft. The
second hangar at the facility will support Jet
Source's Avionics and Aircraft Maintenance
Operation, which will offer maintenance and support
services for a variety of business aircraft
operators traveling in the
region.
Investments in New
Aircraft
With the addition
of four new aircraft to its fleet, including two
Hawker 800s, a Hawker 400-731 and Westwind II, Jet
Source now operates fifteen aircraft in it's total
fleet.
Further, in May
2007 Jet Source announced that it will enter the
Very Light Jet (VLJ) market, which provides an
efficient, environmentally-friendly alternative to
private jet travel. Jet Source will offer a
shared ownership program with three unique
offerings, tailored to suit the interests of
business, individuals and licensed
pilots.
Visionary
Leadership
Jet Source's
management team brings more than 140 years of
combined experience in aviation and a sincere
dedication to providing superior customer service
and operational excellence. The company has
been ranked among the Top 40 FBOs in the Americas
(2004, 2006, 2007), is one of 56 companies to
receive an ARG/US Platinum Rating and was voted
among the Top 10 Avionics Center's in the
US.
"Through the years,
Jet Source has kept a steady pulse on the evolution
of our industry in order to identify and meet the
changing needs of our customers," continued Frank
Milian. "Our team is constantly investigating
new technologies, innovative services and
all-around better ways to operate, so that we can
continue to pave the way toward the next generation
of aviation."
