Meridian Hayward voted preferred FBO
From small beginnings in 1946 at Teterboro when the grass runways had just been paved, Meridian has been the Corporate Aircraft Association Preferred FBO since 1996. Now it has its second such designation at Hayward.
Meridian's other facility has been the CAA Preferred FBO at Teterboro airport since 1996.

Meridian is pleased to announce that its west coast FBO, Meridian Hayward, has been voted preferred FBO at Hayward Executive airport in California by the Corporate Aircraft Association (CAA), a membership-based organisation that is dedicated to enhancing the operating efficiencies of corporate flight departments. A “CAA Preferred” FBO represents a combination of good service and fair pricing for its members, serviced by the most highly qualified personnel and FBO management in the industry.

A CAA Preferred FBO must be voted into the programme. In order to be eligible it must receive at least 35 votes from participating CAA fuel programme members. If there are multiple FBOs at an airport, the one receiving the most votes is named the CAA Preferred FBO. The winner is then tendered a three-year, exclusive contract at its airport.

The voting period for Hayward Executive airport ran from 1 - 7 October, 2018, and the results were welcomed by general manager Carlos Rodriguez: “The entire Meridian team is ecstatic over this designation because it will give us the opportunity to show loyal CAA members that we provide outstanding customer service at very competitive pricing. With both of our FBO locations CAA Preferred facilities, we can now fully serve our CAA customers on both coasts.”

Meridian Teterboro has been the CAA Preferred FBO at Teterboro airport since 1996.
