ACI Jet, a world-class FBO providing corporate aircraft management, charter, maintenance and ground handling services announces that its John Wayne Orange County Airport (KSNA) FBO location is the first FBO in the nation to receive the inaugural Everest Fuel Preferred Award. Presented to ACI Jet at the NBAA Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference in San Antonio, Texas by Joseph M. Martinsek, president of Everest Fuel, this award recognizes FBOs based on stringent fuel quality control and safety guidelines, outstanding customer service, modern and exceptional facilities, and those who take a long-term approach to relationships.

Everest Fuel is a proven market leader of contract fuel services, with a five year history of providing clients with world-class service and savings on their fuel purchases.

“ACI Jet has taken the lead on innovation, safety, and customer service and as such, we feel it is deserving to recognize them as the first FBO in the nation to receive the inaugural Everest Fuel Preferred Award” says Martinsek, adding “It is clear that they are creating a new way to build and foster relationships by delivering the highest levels of service and safety in the industry”.

Recipients of both this award from Everest Fuel and the “#1 Outstanding Service Award” for the top-rated FBO in the nation – based on service – by the world’s largest private jet company, customers have recognized ACI Jet at John Wayne Airport as the number one FBO in the nation in just under two years. 

“We are appreciative of the recognition from our customers and partners”, said Joe Daichendt, Senior Vice President, FBOs for ACI Jet. “When you pioneer change for the whole industry, there is no blueprint to follow. While we are certainly excited for our accomplishments, we are not resting on our laurels and will continue to push for even greater achievements as we lead our industry into the future” added Daichendt.

In January, ACI Jet also received the International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) Stage 1 certification from the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) for its John Wayne Orange County Airport (KSNA) FBO location. IS-BAH is the global industry standard for handlers and FBOs and is designed to meet Safety Management System (SMS) requirements from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), according to IBAC.
