Nestled in the heart of San Diego's North County coastal area, Jet Source has become the leading provider of aviation-related services on the McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad. From its humble beginnings as a small charter company, Jet Source has grown to include two separate Fixed Base Operations (FBO), an FAA-approved repair station for both airframe and avionics maintenance, more than 200,000 square feet of aircraft storage and office space and a very successful aircraft management and charter program. Along the way, Jet Source has continued to be a good neighbor by adhering to voluntary noise curfews, building a state-of-the-art fuel farm and installing a high-tech solar energy system to create the only green-powered FBO in the western United States
People often ask the question, “What is an FBO?” Quite simply, an FBO is a mini airline terminal where passengers can gather to meet their arriving or departing personal aircraft. Most FBO's include a comfortable waiting area, a customer service center, restroom facilities and in most cases, a conference room or two. In addition to these services, Jet Source and Western Flight Services, our second FBO, also provide an inviting pilots lounge complete with big screen TV, satellite receiver and extremely comfortable recliner chairs. We also offer comfortable sleep rooms and Wi-Fi internet access for transient pilots. Within the FBO facilities, pilots can purchase fuel for their aircraft, file flight plans with the FAA and pick up catering that was ordered for a particular flight or group of passengers. For the added security of our customers and their aircraft, our facilities are gated and monitored 24 hours a day.
As an FAA-Approved Repair Station, Jet Source is authorized to repair any and all aircraft. Currently, we maintain a diversified fleet of Gulfstream, Challenger, Falcon, Embraer, Hawker, Citation and King Air aircraft. Our maintenance technicians are factory trained and have many years of hands-on experience. Jet Source is also an FAA Approved Avionics Repair Facility and a recognized dealer for most major brands of aircraft radios and navigation equipment including Collins, Honeywell, Universal and Sandel, to name just a few.
Our aircraft management program has also experienced steady growth over the last several years. Individuals and businesses that own aircraft often don't have the time or the interest to oversee the day-to-day upkeep that is required. Jet Source offers a turn-key ownership experience that includes the search and selection of pilots, oversight of all maintenance requirements, interaction with the FAA, flight planning, flight scheduling, aircraft cleaning and aircraft storage. Our managed customers also have the option to add their aircraft to our very successful charter program. The charter revenues generated can help reduce ownership costs while improving aircraft utilization and providing certain tax benefits as well. Jet Source can also assist with the purchase or sale of an aircraft.
With the ongoing cutbacks in scheduled airline service, our charter department provides a viable alternative for those individuals and companies that need greater flexibility in choosing departure times and city pairs that might better fit their specific needs. A surprising fact is that scheduled airlines only fly to approximately 450 airports within the U.S. Charter aircraft on the other hand, have the option to land at over 5000 airports that are, often times, located much closer to the travelers ultimate destination. Companies also appreciate the ability to conduct business during the flight in the privacy of their own jet while enjoying the added security that private travel provides.
Charter aircraft are available in all sizes and prices and are designed for different mission requirements. For shorter flight to San Francisco, Las Vegas or Phoenix, our Citation Mustang, CJ3 or XLS might be the perfect airplane. For a longer trip to New York, Hawaii or Europe, our beautiful Challenger, Gulfstream or Embraer Legacy would make an excellent choice. And remember, when you charter a jet, you charter the entire airplane. This is a great opportunity to invite business associates and friends to join you at no extra cost.
