In a resounding affirmation of its commitment to client service, Sheltair has been honored by its customers with top rankings in the 2021 Aviation International News (AIN) FBO Survey. The family-owned company saw seven of its airport locations land in the top 20% the most of any FBO network nationwide.
As a true metric of Sheltair’s dedication to exceptional service, the rankings result from general aviation customers feedback on facilities, passenger amenities, pilot amenities, line service, and customer service representatives (CSRs). The scores from all five categories were averaged to reach the FBOsfinal scores.
With this focus on customer experience, four of these Sheltair FBOs ranked in the top 10%, two of which topped the list among the most esteemed 5% of FBOs—an exciting first for this innovative aviation company.
Every service we offer and every operational decision we make is on behalf of our customers and Sheltair team members, stated Lisa Holland, Sheltair president. I am proud of Sheltair’s commitment to exceptional customer care and honored that our customers took the time to support Sheltair through their participation in this annual survey. Our longstanding partnership with our customers remains the greatest value while these results serve as a testament to the level of safety and service they experience throughout the Sheltair network.
