Avfuel-Branded Arlington Flight Services, Inc. (KAWO) Invests In Major Upgrades And Improvements

“We saw an amazing opportunity here at KAWO,” said Lucas Smith, Flight Operations Director. “The airport had no FBO in the classic sense. We [Arlington Flight Services] haven’t even been open a year and already we’re beginning to realize the airport’s and the FBO’s potential.”

Arlington Flight Services marks the first time that jet fuel has been readily available for purchase at Arlington Municipal Airport. Prior, “Fuel could be arranged, but it was very inconvenient.” said Smith. “Needless to say, the airport was seeing very little jet traffic. With the addition of readily-available jet fuel and the construction of the ramp, we’ve seen an increase over the past couple weeks. We’d love to see more.” Additional fuel-related improvements include the installation of two self-service tanks for 100LL and ethanol-free gasoline. “We’ve noticed quite a few piston aircraft using auto fuel at this airport,” said Smith. “We’re excited to offer these pilots this convenience.”

“The team behind Arlington Flight Services took advantage of a real opportunity to enhance the general aviation experience at Arlington Municipal Airport,” said Marci Ammerman, Avfuel Vice President, Marketing. “As a company exclusively committed to aviation and heavily invested in the pilot and flight department community, we are thrilled to partner with an FBO that exhibits that same devotion.”

Arlington Flight Services boasts a newly-remodeled facility as well as maintenance, aircraft rental, and flight training. Services/amenities include a crew car, oxygen, line services, pilot lounge, snooze room, WiFi, an On-Staff AME and more. AVTRIP Points are available on qualified fuel purchases.
