Re-Branding of FBO
Named the number one Fixed Base Operator (FBO) in the Americas for the last two years by Aviation International News, Sugar Land Regional Airport is re-branding its internationally recognized FBO as Global Select.
“Launching the new name allows us to market the FBO independently from the City’s airport to the industry and reach more of the corporate and international clientele we want to attract and currently serve,” said Phillip Savko, Director of Aviation for Sugar Land Regional Airport. “We are truly the ‘Luxury Gateway to Houston’ with our beautiful facility and top-notch amenities setting us apart. This new campaign will help us spread awareness throughout the industry.” Under its new name, Global Select will continue to offer the same red-carpet, VIP service it has always provided. Some of its standard services include: aircraft ground services; concierge-style customer service; onsite U.S. customs services; gourmet catering; NATA Safety 1st certified line service crew; 24-hour service available; Quick Turn Service Available; GPU and LAV Service; Shell-branded fuels; and complimentary coffee, newspapers and ice. With over half a million square feet of apron for aircraft parking, Global Select is able to provide safe ramp operations for even the largest business aircraft.
Global Select at SLRA offers clients a beautiful 20,000 square foot, ranch-style terminal with state-of-the-art and superior amenities not typically found at other FBOs, including multiple full-service conference rooms available for complimentary use by fly-in customers; a private executive lounge; crew cars; two onsite rental car agencies; and a Professional Crew Suite, complete with a flight planning office, state-of-the-art media room with free videos; exercise room, quiet/snooze rooms, kitchen and shower facilities, WSI Pilot brief, Wi-Fi and a private office.
