Avfuel welcomes Westair
Aviation (EINN/SNN) to the Avfuel Network of fuelling locations as
the premier aircraft management company adds full fuelling and
ground-handling services as a US-style FBO operating its own
dedicated refueling trucks to its base at Shannon International
Airport in County Clare, Ireland.
“We’re excited for Westair as it
embarks on this new line of business, and excited that we get to be
part of this experience as its chosen fuel supplier,” said
Joel Hirst,
vice president of sales for Avfuel Corporation.
Though the operation
just recently added its FBO business, it’s far from new to aviation
services. Westair’s experienced management team has run an
upstanding charter and aircraft management operation for 40 years
and will continue to utilize that invaluable experience to enhance
its services to Avfuel customers at Shannon Airport.
With this background
in flight operations and aircraft management, Westair - licensed by
the Irish Aviation Authority and the European Aviation Safety Agency
- understands what GA traffic needs and expects from a premier FBO.
With a dedicated, full-service facility, guests to the operation can
be assured they will receive the best experience private aviation
can deliver when stopping in Shannon. Westair also offers concierge
service to its clients, and is on-call day and night to readily
respond to any requirements.
Among its array of
services and amenities, Westair offers its customers charter
services, fleet management for fixed-wing and rotary aircraft, a VIP
passenger lounge, a crew rest room, a dedicated ramp, fuel trucks,
hangar space, maintenance, a main-ramp office for tech stops and
quick turns, both jet A1 and avgas, special rates for Avfuel
Contract Fuel users, AVTRIP Points, and U.S. pre-clearance via
Shannon Airport.
“Westair
welcomes the Avfuel brand to Shannon International Airport and we
look forward to delivering a seamless service as the only US-style
FBO in Shannon to Avfuel customers,” said
Liam Murphy,
operations manager of Westair.
Located on the west
coast, Westair is a premier facility for GA traffic visiting
mid-west Ireland and the Wild Atlantic Way, a culturally-rich and
naturally-stunning region. Business visitors who wish to take in the
spectacular surrounds of the area will find themselves merely 2.5
hours from Dublin City by road. Westair also affords GA traffic a
quick transatlantic stopover from the eastern U.S. to the
northwestern region of Europe and beyond. |
