What is the American Aero difference? RMB: I have spent my life traveling and visiting FBOs throughout the world, for business and pleasure, and my love of aviation is rooted in those experiences. Most FBOs are mundane. When I purchased a failing FBO at Meacham International Airport in 2012, it was my intention to create something distinctive, something remarkable. I brought in Vice President Bob Agostino, a renowned pilot and creator of the Bombardier Safety Standdown. We understand customers’ needs because we know their pain points. We’ve been there. We set out to redefine the FBO experience to meet the needs of today’s travelers. AT: That vision is our guiding force. My team and I are committed to creating an exceptional experience for every customer. We understand that our mission is to respond to customer needs on the ground so they can focus on their jobs in the air. Q: What do customers respond to when it comes to your state-of-the-art facility?
