Mooney Announces Alliance With Million Air Chain of FBOs

Officials with Mooney Airplane Company have announced an alliance with select Million Air fixed-base operations (FBO) across the country to develop a fuel and maintenance saving program for its customers. The program was presented and discussed with the Million Air franchise owners at the 2004 NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention. 

Mooney owners will receive a per-gallon fuel discount in addition to a percentage off of maintenance services at select Million Air locations for a one-year period. Details of the program are being finalized with each Million Air franchise owner and will be formally announced in the coming weeks.

"Million Air is known for providing high quality facilities and customer service to the aviation industry," said David Copeland, vice president of sales and marketing for Mooney. "What better FBO partner for Mooney as we work to develop an added-value program for our loyal customers.

Mooney will also be placing a demo plane at the Million Air Houston facility as part of its expanded "Fly before you buy" sales program. In exchange for premier hangar space in the high-traffic Houston facility, Million Air CEO and Houston facility owner, Roger Woolsey, will use the Mooney airplane, which will be outfitted with the Million Air logo, for Million Air business travel.

"Million Air is pleased to be the FBO of choice for the loyal Mooney customer base," said Woolsey. "And, I am excited to be able to use  this fast, high-performance airplane to travel to business meetings and Million Air events across the country. This freedom and convenience to travel when I want is the number one reason I became a pilot and started my first business in the industry, a private jet charter company."
