Western Aircraft Plans Expansion

Western Aircraft says it's approved plans to expand its current FBO facilities in Boise, ID. The current 1,450 sq ft building will be replaced with a spacious 3,600 sq ft facility. Construction of the new facility is scheduled to begin during September of this year, with the completion expected in February of 2006.

The renovation will continue in offering Western’s visitors with specialized services such as gourmet catering, hotel reservations, courtesy cars, shuttle service, and on-ramp rental cars. The upgraded facility will include additional amenities such as a separate pilot and passenger lounge, customer conference room, and a flight planning center with WSI Pilotbrief Pro. The new FBO will also provide customers with the flexibility of wireless internet access. Additionally, Western can accommodate the largest corporate jet in one of its five heated hangers.

Western Aircraft is an AVFuel branded FBO honoring the AVFuel Commercial Contract Fuel Program as well as participating in the AVTrip Fuel Incentive Program. The FBO also honors a variety of other fuel contract programs. All of Western’s Line Service Technicians are National Air & Transportation Association Safety First trained, as safety is Western’s first and foremost priority.

The company has a comprehensive menu of aviation services able to satisfy the demanding needs of business aircraft, as well as the people and companies operating them. Western is an authorized service center for many of the world’s top business aircraft, engine, and avionics manufacturers including Dassault Falcon Jet, Pilatus, Raytheon (Beechcraft and Hawker), Cessna, Honeywell, and Collins.
