Golden Isles Aviation Becomes Phillips 66 Aviation-branded Dealer

Serving a popular corporate retreat destination and an upscale seaside resort that’s home to several professional golfers, Golden Isles Aviation at McKinnon Airport (KSSI) has joined the Phillips 66^® Aviation-branded dealer network, the nation’s largest.

The sole fixed base operator on the field, Golden Isles Aviation features a NATA Safety 1^st PSLT-certified line crew, government contract fuel, overnight hangars, lavatory and GPU services, and pilot amenities that include a quiet room, showers, a full kitchen and concierge service.

Saint Simons is known for its five-star golf resort and local cuisine. In fact, Golden Isles keeps five courtesy cars ready to take customers for some wild-caught Georgia shrimp and grits, or other “low country” specialties.

“Pilots will fly in just to do lunch or dinner,” says Larry Wade, owner of Golden Isles Aviation. “Everything here is locally owned, with only one or two chains in town. And 95 percent of our restaurants are within two-and-a-half miles of the FBO.”

Serving a bucolic resort, Golden Isles Aviation draws a Fortune 500 group of second and third homeowners, as well as the executives on corporate retreats.

Golden Isles Aviation is participating in WingPoints^®, the Phillips 66 program that rewards repeat fuel purchases.

“I love this industry and the business,” Wade says. “We really love being able to serve the folks that fly in here. Whether they’re in a 150 or a G5, it doesn’t matter. We just want to be that excellent, well-done, courtesy-driven FBO that’s pre-thought our customers’ needs.”
