ACI Jet, the primary fuel provider and FBO at San Luis Obispo County airport in California, is celebrating a historic milestone following the airport's recent annual FAA Part 139 inspection.

The comprehensive FAA evaluation, required for commercial service airports, covers critical safety and operational areas, including fuelling safety, personnel training and airfield conditions. This year, SBP was one of only three airports out of more than 520 evaluated nationwide to receive a perfect score of 100 per cent.

Of even more significance, the FAA auditor noted that in over seven years of conducting these audits, this is the first time he has personally awarded a perfect score.

“This accomplishment is not only a direct reflection of the hard work, attention to detail and professionalism of our entire team, but highlights the strong relationship and operational coordination between San Luis Obispo, Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting, the ATC Tower and our FBO,” shares Andrew Robillard, vice president of FBOs and facilities at ACI Jet. “The zero-discrepancy result for our FBO is a direct outcome of ACI Jet's proactive approach to safety and its rigorous training programmes.”

Special recognition for this historic accomplishment goes to Jose Saavadera, ground support equipment and quality assurance manager for ACI Jet, and Ryan Chapa, ACI Jet's aircraft ground support supervisor, in addition to the entire FBO team, whose daily diligence ensures the highest standards of fuelling operations and compliance for every customer flying into San Luis.
