Hawthorne Hangar
Operations (HHO) opened its full-service location as an Avfuel-branded
FBO and CAA Preferred FBO at Jack Northrop Field/Hawthorne Municipal
Airport (KHHR) on August 1.
One of the FBO’s
greatest features is its convenience. Located near Los Angeles,
Santa Monica and Long Beach, HHO provides a perfect location to fly
in, fuel up and hop over to a final destination without the hassle
of the congested airspace found at LAX and other metro-area
airports.
In addition, HHO
grants guests easy access to major freeways leading to the cities,
placing guests just 4 nm east of Los Angeles International Airport,
8 nm south east of Santa Monica Municipal Airport and 11 nm north
west of Long Beach Airport.
“Hawthorne
Hangar Operations is a key location for the Avfuel Network because
it’s in the middle of it all,” said
Mark Haynes,
Avfuel’s vice president of sales. “They offer everything guests
would expect from a big-city FBO without the traffic and hassle
you’d expect from an airport like LAX.”
In addition to its
central metro location, HHO is also centrally located on the air
field in the Wolfe Air hangar facility (turnout Delta on runway
7-25). HHO offers guests both Jet A and Avgas with all the amenities
discerning guests expect from a customer-centric FBO, including
concierge services for every client. For transaction ease, HHO
accepts most forms of payment and—while a fuel truck is
forthcoming—the FBO offers self-serve fueling fully staffed with an
attendant.
“We’ve been a
presence on this field for more than 7 years in hangar operations,
Aerial Photography and production, under our owner’s - Dan Wolfe’s -
Umbrella of companies,” said
Jim Schulte, Hawthorne
Hangar Operations’ general manager. “We recognized a need for
another FBO on the field and seized the opportunity - it was a
natural transition and one we’re excited to execute with the
professionalism and safety standards we’ve developed over the
years.” |
