Republic Jet Center at New York City-area Republic Airport can now handle TSA security screening for Part 380 operations as well as large charter flights.

Republic Jet Center, a service provider at New York City-area Republic Airport (KFRG), has introduced in-house TSA screening. It noted that the offering enhances security, efficiency, and convenience for charter operators and per-seat travelers flying into and out of the metropolitan area.

The addition marks the facility as one of the few FBOs in the region to offer this level of service, which provides flexibility for DOT Part 380 operators and those offering large charter flights. Republic Jet Center president Garry Madolid told AIN that the approval process involved training and obtaining security clearance for staff members at the FBO. He said out of its 50-plus employees, approximately 20% are now qualified to conduct TSA screening.
