Eastern West Virginia partners with Avfuel
MRB Aviation will be able to provide customers with AVTRIP rewards and competitive prices with Avfuel Contract Fuel. Overnight parking and long-term lease options are available in MRB's heated hangar.
The heated hangar also features 19,000 sq ft of office, work and living space.

The Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport Authority (MRB) has entered into a new partnership with Avfuel Corporation. The addition of Avfuel to the airport's providers means that its fuel and gold standard in aviation services will be made available to MRB customers.

A leading independent supplier in the United States, Avfuel has been in business for more than 45 years and is an expert in every step of the fuel-delivery process. Its addition to MRB's array of services is part of MRB's recent expansion.

As an Avfuel-branded FBO, MRB Aviation will be able to provide customers with AVTRIP rewards and competitive prices with Avfuel Contract Fuel. In addition to contract fuel, customers will benefit when using the Avfuel Pro Card at MRB with the ability to put everything, including fuel and non-fuel items, with or without a fuel purchase, on one transaction, enabling them to avoid multiple processing fees.

MRB is West Virginia's oldest airport and largest aviation gateway, at less than 90 minutes from Baltimore and Washington, D.C., and the newly-acquired FBO is the sole service provider at the facility. In addition to gaining new owners, MRB Aviation will move its operations back to the airport's main terminal with on-site restaurant, and will be renovated to include a pilot lounge, snooze room, TV room, shower facilities, flight planning area, 35-seat A/V-equipped conference room, refreshment bar, crew car and an avgas self-serve unit.

“We look forward to beginning this new partnership with Avfuel as we assume the FBO's operation,” says Nicolas Diehl, executive director of the Eastern West Virginia Regional airport. “Avfuel's reliability and personalised approach to customer service mirrors the level of care we aspire to provide our customers on a daily basis.”

Serving over 30,000 flight operations per year, including military deployments, government VIP/dignitary visits, sports teams and air cargo, MRB Aviation provides premier aviation support with unmatched general aviation airport infrastructure, a broad array of support services and staff committed to providing a first-class experience with well-maintained facilities, comprehensive ground handling equipment and attentive service at competitive prices.

“We couldn't be happier to add MRB Aviation to the Avfuel family of branded FBOs,” adds Joel Hirst, VP of sales for Avfuel. “The addition gives pilots flying throughout the Avfuel network a trusted service provider with competitive prices in a key eastern US market.”

To better accommodate an array of aircraft types, the airport offers a wide runway measuring 8,815 feet in length and 150 feet in width along with air traffic control services. Overnight parking and long-term lease options are available in MRB's more than 83,000 sq ft of heated hangar space and 19,000 sq ft of office, work and living space. Along with full FBO services, MRB also offers in-house charter.
