Two FBOs in the Caribbean—Bohlke International Airways at St. Croix Henry E. Rohlsen Airport and Jet Aviation San Juan—outlined their roles in relief efforts following Hurricanes Irma and Maria at the Caribbean Aviation Meetup in Nassau, Bahamas, yesterday. Managers at each of the facilities called Irma, which skirted their respective islands, good practice for what was to come 10 days later—a direct hit from a category 5 Maria.
