The AEG Fuels Connect branded dealer network&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2022-10-17/aeg-fuels-introduces-branded-dealer-network">launched</a> three years ago by the Miami-based company has expanded to 37 locations with the addition of four locations. Its new members include two in the U.S., one in Canada, and AEG’s first in Australia.
The group strengthened its footprint in the Pacific Northwest with the addition of American Jet Center, a newly built FBO at Portland-area Scappoose Airport (KSPB) in Oregon, and Corporate Air Center, the lone service provider at Washington’s Skagit Regional Airport (KBVS). The latter is an authorized Cirrus service center and a gateway to the San Juan Islands.
Across the Pacific, Avcair, an FBO at Brisbane Airport, has two decades of experience, offering a private luxury lounge and in-house customs, immigration, and quarantine services.
Finally, Gander Aviation at Gander International Airport in Newfoundland, Canada, is a full-service facility offering a wide range of amenities.
“AEG Connect is built around forging strategic alliances with exceptional FBOs,” said Kurt Brulisauer, AEG’s v-p for general aviation. “Each of these new locations brings unique strengths to our network, enhancing our ability to support operators with best-in-class service across the globe.”

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
