Pentastar Aviation Remains In Top Rankings of Best US and Best Independent FBOs By Professional Pilot Magazine

WATERFORD, MI. – Pentastar Aviation, a leader in the world of business aviation, was again recognized for their world-class aviation services. The latest recognition came from Professional Pilot magazine, one of the most respected publications in the aviation industry. Pentastar Aviation was named one of the Best US and Best Independent FBOs (Fixed-Base Operator) in its 2020 Pro Pilot PRASE Survey. The PRASE Survey, heralded as the gold standard of aviation ground service leaders, is an annual tabulation of customer opinions of the services they receive. Each year Professional Pilot magazine polls executives in charge of flight departments, aviation managers, chief pilots, pilots, CEOs and other qualified subscribers to recognize industry-leading service providers.

“We are extremely proud to consistently place in the top rankings of this survey year after year,” said Greg Schmidt, President & CEO, Pentastar Aviation. “Our tagline is ‘Setting the Standard,’ and we look at is as more than just a marketing slogan. We encourage our employees to not only meet the needs of our customers, but also to go above and beyond in anticipating them.  That’s why customer service training is not just for the Customer Service Representatives at Pentastar, but for every single employee.”

Pentastar continues to be the most awarded aviation company for over a decade, recognized by those who appreciate their commitment to exceeding the industry standards for both safety and service excellence. This recognition in Pro Pilot as the #2 Best Independent and #3 Best US FBO follows the news last month that Pentastar was ranked #1 FBO in the Great Lakes region in the 2020 AIN FBO Survey from Aviation International News.
