National Jets has a lot to be grateful for
this year as it celebrates its 70th anniversary and most recently its approval
of becoming Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International's (FLL) newest DCA Gateway
FBO under the DCA Access Standard Security Program (DASSP) - the program that
governs business aviation access to Washington’s Reagan National Airport (KDCA).
According to
Reggie Nichols,
National Jets’ General Manager and FBOSSP Security Coordinator, the application
process took approximately three months, which included paperwork, the
establishment of a security program, training, and inspections by the TSA. The
agency determined that the existing facility would not require modifications to
comply with the FBOSSP regulations.
"Adding our DCA Gateway approval only adds to
the conveniences that we are able provide our customers, " remarked
Sam Robbin,
CEO.
