FBO Fuel Survey Notes Positive Sales in 2018
The annual forecast by FBO industry consultancy Aviation Business Strategies Group, saw only 25 percent of those surveyed selling less fuel in 2018
For the third consecutive year, more than half of the FBO respondents in Aviation Business Strategies Group (ABSG) annual survey noted year-over-year increases in fuel sales. That tallies with business aviation flight activity numbers from Argus TRAQPak, which showed monthly flight activity increased incrementally year-over-year in 2018, with a slight softening towards the end of the year.
