Saturday was "by far the busiest day" in the history of aviation services provider Atlantic Aviation, a company spokesperson told AIN. This record was broken in large part as the result of business at just two of the FBO chain's 66 facilities—Louisville, Ky., and Las Vegas, which together handled more than 870 aircraft and pumped nearly a half-million gallons of fuel that day for private aircraft flying in for dueling sports events: the Kentucky Derby and the Pacquiao-Mayweather welterweight boxing match, respectively.
