Having joined the Fly Louie Alliance as one of its preferred FBOs Yingling Aviation is now seeing incremental business opportunities with FAR Part 135 charter operators. The Fly Louie Alliance comprises more than 300 independent Part 135 flight operations flying more than 3,000 aircraft.
“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,” explained 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 programme 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,” she continued.
Hampton noted that Yingling has already seen an increase in activity among charter operators with plenty of positive feedback from both the operators and their clients.
Having started in 2017 as a public charter, offering regularly scheduled service to New York, Boston, Nantucket and Pittsburgh, Fly Louie then began its ‘Alliance’ initiative in 2019 as a fuel savings programme.
“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,” concluded Hampton.
