West Star Aviation is continuing to look for select niches to extend its large and small business aircraft service offerings, while at the same time strengthening its FBO brand, according to Rick Brainard, general manager of the company’s Grand Junction, Colo. facility.

Last year, West Star opened a 78,000-sq-ft large jet service hangar and shop complex at Grand Junction and spent $1.1 million refurbishing the lobby area of its FBO. Brainard said the lobby and terminal upgrades were designed to make West Star more on par with FBOs in Vail or Aspen, since during ski season the facility often receives traffic diverted from those destinations due to weather or slot allocation. For diverted passengers, “this is their first impression of a bad trip, so why not leave them with an exceptional experience?” Brainard asked.
