TERMINAL
In the summer of 2007 we proudly opened the new Executive Terminal at the Westfield-Barnes Airport (KBAF). Corporate aircraft operators quickly took note citing our new facility as the finest FBO in the region with facilities and operations rivaling many of the larger chain FBOs but with a refreshingly affordable price. In addition, we completed construction of a new 20,000 square foot corporate hangar shortly after the opening of the FBO increasing our total hangar footprint to over 56,000 square feet and providing the ability to accommodate large cabin aircraft. view a photo of the Executive Terminal Our principle focus is the safety of our Guests and associates and we regularly review all aspects of our operation to ensure that our standards are properly maintained. From continual verification of compliance with aircraft fueling standards (NATA, ATA 103, NFPA 407) to detailed inspections of the tug and towbar attach points prior to moving any aircraft, drug and alcohol testing of all employees that may directly interact with your aircraft, even the use of whistles when moving aircraft and monitoring catering refrigeration temperatures to avoid food illness - there is no detail too small when it comes to your safety. back
to top Ensuring the security of your flight, and identity, is another fundamental which we take very seriously. The Executive Terminal is equipped with an eight camera closed circuit video surveillance system with a forty-five day archive. All airside access points are equipped with electronic access control and ample lighting illuminates the entire apron and vehicle parking areas. There is even a satellite office in the Terminal for the local police department. back
to top Without question, our most valuable assets are our dedicated associates. Each team member is selected based upon their eagerness to assist our Guests and understanding that their role is intrinsic to the overall success of your flight - after all, an FBO is as much hospitality as it is aviation. We also encourage our Guests to utilize our concierge service to assist in making your stay as enjoyable and productive as possible. back
to top Upon your arrival, whether by air or ground, you will be greeted by the large multi-level glass lobby providing a breathtaking panoramic view of the local topography. Modern finishes in the atrium are tastefully complemented by comfortable seating arrangements. Small alcoves with Parisian cafe tables provide a discrete setting for conversation or you may journey to the second floor mezzanine for additional interior seating. Additionally, we invite you to visit the outdoor observation deck (closed in during the winter season) that overlooks the airport’s runways and picturesque rolling hills to the east. back
to top We recognize that flight crews often spend many hours waiting at an FBO. We also understand that the FBO’s amenities can make all the difference between a restful experience and a restless one. The crew lounge is segregated from the main lobby and is furnished with comfortable seating arranged around a large, flat screen television. Complimentary wireless internet is provided if you choose to check your email or surf the web. Two quiet rooms with relaxing leather recliners are located adjacent to the lounge and a large flight planning room is also provided just a few steps away. Clean, private rest rooms, including showering facilities, are also provided within the lounge area. view a photo of the crew lounge back
to top Located above the main lobby, and available to our Guests with prior request, is the state-of-the-art conference facility. The large conference table can comfortably accommodate 16 people and additional seats that flank the table provide seating for 14 more. A high resolution ceiling mounted projector casts your message onto a large electrically controlled screen and a tall podium, with connections for a laptop computer, is provided for your emcee or speaker. There is even a refreshment center with sink and refrigerator discretely located at the rear of the room. view a photo of the conference center back

The construction and cleanliness of our state-of-the-art fuel storage facility has set a benchmark that other operators investing in a fuel storage facility refer to in designing their own. Our mobile fuelers are built on late model truck chassis providing unmatched reliability and all our associates are thoroughly trained in fuel quality assurance in accordance with NATA and ATA 103 standards as well as NFPA 407 fire protection guidelines. Additionally, in an effort to provide our Guests the ultimate value during an era of turbulent energy prices, we complement our refreshingly affordable price by participating in most major contract fueling programs . back
to top New England is a beautiful place to visit, especially in the fall; however, winter operations can make your travel plan coordination a bit more challenging. Although we cannot control the weather we are pleased to provide our Guests with heated hangar space, when available, as well as aircraft deicing. Our 1,000 gallon 1,000,000 Btu aircraft deicer has a 39 foot working height and is equipped with a variable-rate nozzle allowing us to dial-in the required flow volume based on the amount of accumulation and, more importantly, making the process more affordable by improving efficiency. All our deicing professionals are trained in accordance with NATA’s Business Aircraft Deicing Guide and are required to refract and verify operating temperature of the propylene glycol fluid prior to application. view a photo of the deicing apparatus back
