FBO SUCCESS SEMINAR FOCUSES ON FUELING WINNING STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE YOUR BOTTOM LINE
AND STRENGTHEN FUEL SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIPS
September 16, 2010, Alexandria, VA — The National Air Transportation Association’s (NATA) acclaimed FBO Success Seminar will head to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, on October 5 – 7 for a comprehensive session with a special focus on fueling.
As part of the three-day event, several major oil companies and third-party fuel brokers will participate in a lively roundtable discussion and field questions from FBO owners and operators in attendance.
“In the FBO business, fuel margins are key in determining profitability,” said John Enticknap, president of Aviation Business Strategies Group (ABSG) and facilitator for the seminar. “Many factors affect fuel margins – the lifeblood of FBO business. This seminar will examine strategies to improve the bottom line while strengthening the fuel supplier relationship.”
According to Enticknap, a veteran of the aviation fuel and FBO industry, the more an FBO knows about the business of fueling, the better the relationship with the primary fuel supplier as well as third-party fuel brokers.
The FBO Success Seminar covers a variety of issues facing FBOs, including:
- Optimizing operations and positioning for economic success
- Lowering credit card interest rates
- Minimizing insurance premiums
- Developing a favorable lease
- Positioning for sale, merger or acquisition
- FBO legal matters and pointers
- Establishing long-term profitable customer relationships
- Marketing for any size FBO: Increasing sales and market share without affecting fuel margins
NATA Director of Safety and Training Amy Koranda added, “With a new focus each session, the FBO Success seminar has become a valuable source of information for new and returning attendees.”
