Wichita FBO to Offer Special Pricing for Alliance Members

Part 135 charter operators within the Fly Louie Alliance will soon see fresh savings at Yingling’s  Wichita Eisenhower Airport, the FBO company reports. 

The Fly Louie Alliance is a relatively new addition to the industry, founded in September of 2019 to create a network to match Part 135 operators with FBO partners to mitigate costs and provide additional benefits to both. The Alliance allows charter providers to save up to $0.89 per gallon at Preferred FBOs in the United States, the Caribbean, and Canada, while offering a crew travel savings program, health insurance plan, and fleet networking initiative branded “Connect”. Yingling Aviation is a recent addition to the Alliance fold, joining after a meeting with Fly Louie reps at the 2022 NBAA Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference. 

Since becoming part of the network last June, Yingling says they’ve seen an increase in activity among charter operators alongside positive feedback from crew and clients alike. 

“We are always looking for ways to enhance the products and services we offer our customer base—and to expand it in ways that are mutually beneficial,” said Kathie Hampton, Yingling’s FBO customer service manager. 

“This affiliation with the Fly Louie Alliance definitely meets that criterion by offering us direct exposure to more than 300 charter operators. Fly Louie’s fuel program is an efficient and effective means of allowing us to leverage Yingling’s obvious assets for charter operators.  We have an immaculate, modern facility that offers a full range of services and support, including an on-site restaurant at an airport that is centrally located in the heart of the country."

Hampton said that the benefits have only become more apparent with additional experience in the Alliance. “Fly Louie has developed extensive relationships with its operators and Preferred FBOs and has created a network built on efficient communication and insights between them.  It’s designed to offer a seamless flying experience, with quick responses, price quotes and strong attention to the details that matter most when it comes to providing outstanding customer service. That’s very consistent with our business model at Yingling and we’re pleased to be a part of this network.”
