NBAA’s FBO Partnership Network achieves major milestone with 50 participating locations

The National Business Aviation Association has welcomed Clay Lacy Aviation as the 50th FBO location to join the NBAA FBO Partnership Network with the addition of its operation at Waterbury-Oxford Airport in Oxford, CT (OXC).

“Clay Lacy was proud to be among the first to join this esteemed program, which has greatly elevated the visibility of our two award-winning FBOs in Southern California,” said Maria Garceau, general manager of Clay Lacy Aviation’s Oxford FBO. “We eagerly anticipate matching that success with our first East Coast FBO at Waterbury-Oxford Airport in Oxford, CT, adding to this growing network. It’s an example of the value the NBAA brings to the business aviation community.”

Launched at NBAA-BACE 2023, the NBAA FBO Partnership Network is free to join for any NBAA-member FBO. The network operates entirely on a barter basis, where partners work together to exchange advertising and marketing opportunities.

“The NBAA FBO Partnership Network delivers significant benefits for both the association and our member FBOs at no cost,” said NBAA Senior Marketing Manager Ashley Granada. “FBOs play a vital role in our industry and it is a privilege to create opportunities to help them gain the visibility and recognition they deserve. Since its launch, this initiative has made exciting progress, and we look forward to seeing its continued expansion.”

In addition to adding the 50th FBO location to the program, Total FBO has joined the network as an Elite Partner. These Elite Partners, which also include Paragon Aviation Group, help share the program and connect NBAA with FBO locations who would benefit from joining the network.

“We’re excited to join NBAA’s FBO Network as an Elite Partner,” said Nate Wasser, general manager of CAMP Systems FBO Software, parent company of Total FBO. “We’re proud of our lengthy partnership and support of NBAA and are eager for FBOs – the front line of our industry – to benefit through opportunities to learn, grow and network with industry leaders and peers.”

NBAA FBO Partnership Network members, such as Odyssey Aviation, said the program has provided them with a host of important business benefits.

“Joining the NBAA FBO Partnership Network Program has been a winning formula for us,” said William Holowesko, general manager of Odyssey Aviation. “It has significantly enhanced our market presence, allowed us to promote NBAA initiatives and offered our clients and pilots access to exclusive discounts and resources. We highly recommend this program to any FBO looking to strengthen its connection to the industry and provide added value to its customers.”
