Freeman Jet Center's luxe appointments will pair well with the new runway, according to the company. They're hungry for jet business at the moment, declaring the breadth of their support services for anyone heading near Pueblo, Colorado. They offer the usual niceties, like "complimentary internet access" (which should be standard in 2024 when fuel is the better part of ten bucks a gallon, but understandable), an automated weather station, on-site eatery, and comfy crew spaces. For those on the clock, Freeman offers top-tier refueling, DLA-approved aviation fuel, ground support, aircraft cleaning, catering, courtesy cars and rental car arrangements.
