Kearney Flight Services provides full-service stop for aircraft

KEARNEY – Eva Flores considers Kearney Flight Services as a gas station for pilots.

“We do fueling of all aircraft,” she said. “We fuel the airline as well. We have an FBO building where we provide snacks, drinks, courtesy cars, conference rooms and televisions. We also have internet service. If a pilot brings in a few people for a business meeting, they might be here all day. They can stay here and use the internet or watch TV. We also have computers for their use.”

A fixed base operation, also known as an FBO, is a status given to a commercial enterprise that has been given the right by an airport authority to operate at the airport. Kearney Flight Services provides the basics, like aviation fuel. The company also provides aircraft storage space in heated hangers, de-icing, oxygen service, access to rental cars – and fresh baked cookies.

Flores, the administrative assistant for the company, noted that Kearney Flight Services does more than just provide fuel for aircraft.
