For the fourth consecutive year, Phillips 66 Aviation has been named Best Fuel Brand in Professional Pilot Magazine’s Preferences Regarding Aviation Services and Equipment (PRASE) Survey. Many Phillips 66 branded FBOs were also ranked in five categories, with Texas Jet at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (FTW) awarded No. 1 Best Independent FBO.
“We’re honored to once again be named as Best Fuel Brand. We strive to offer the programs, promotions and stellar service that lead to such regard in the aviation industry, so to be recognized by Pro Pilot’s readers is truly rewarding,” said Lindsey Grant, manager of General Aviation for Phillips 66. “We’d also like to extend our congratulations to the Phillips 66 branded FBOs and their employees whose hard work was recognized. Thank you all for your unwavering dedication to general aviation.”
The 47th annual survey ranked both national and international FBOs for overall excellence. Professional Pilot magazine subscribers returned 937 ballot forms scoring FBOs on a scale of 1 (poor) to 10 (excellent) in six categories, including line team, customer service representatives, facility, amenities, promptness and efficiency, and value for price.
