Republic Jet Center (RJC), one of three service providers at New York City-area general aviation hub Republic Airport (KFRG), has made quite a name for itself since it opened in 2014. According to company president Garry Madolid, the independent FBO is on track to pump more than three million gallons of fuel this year, more than half of the airport’s total, and a 10 percent increase from a year ago, continuing the rising trend in fuel volume since the Covid period.

The company occupies two leaseholds at KFRG consisting of 12 acres (including ramp). RJC West is home to the FBO’s based tenants and is used by major operators such as Jet Edge, XO, and NetJets. It has a 30,000-sq-ft heated hangar that can accommodate aircraft up to the size of a Gulfstream G650. That structure is home to seven based jets, while a 33,000-sq-ft hangar is leased to aircraft charter, management, and maintenance provider Talon Air, which operates a floating fleet of 35 aircraft.
