Avfuel Corporation is pleased to welcome Redding Jet Center, a long-time Avfuel contract fuel location, as a branded FBO partner.

Located at northern California’s Redding airport, the FBO is just minutes from a number of golf courses, surrounded by five national forests and just an hour from Mount Shasta, the second-highest peak in the Cascade Range. Redding is a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds.

“We’re so pleased to be taking our relationship with Redding Jet Center to the next level,” says vice president of sales Mark Haynes. “Redding provides exceptional service in a key location for our flight department customers, and its high standards align with Avfuel’s business philosophy in general. It’s a great fit.”

Redding Jet Center supports both business aviation customers and northern California’s aerial service operations, by facilitating the region’s cargo supply chain and fire services and providing a base for those fighting forest fires.

FBO general manager Doug Coble says. “We want to meet customer needs at the highest level, and partnering with Avfuel is a great opportunity to do that. “Being an Avfuel-branded location means more comprehensive offerings, including AVTRIP rewards, while still providing the quality fuel our customers have become accustomed to at competitive prices.”

Streamlined purchasing with the Avfuel Pro Card is one of Redding Jet Center’s branded-location benefits, allowing purchases of all items with or without a fuel purchase to be made in one transaction.

The FBO provides a welcoming atmosphere along with a pilots’ lounge and supplies, conference room accommodating groups of 12 to 15, and a flight planning desk. Its 16,000 sq ft working hangar houses a full-service maintenance facility staffed by FAA-certified Airframe and Powerplant mechanics, four with inspection authorisations, to handle virtually any service or maintenance need. The team specialises in Cessna 300 and 400 series aircraft and has factory training on Cessna Caravan and Beechcraft King Air series aircraft.
