“We knew coming in that the airport had potential for growth and we are excited to see those results so soon” said Karel Van Der Linden, Owner and Director of Fly High Lexington. The company achieved this increase through a variety of methods including attracting new tenants for the airport and increasing transient Jet A and Avgas customers.
Service and facility improvements were also made which included longer operational hours, expansion of the flight school and the addition of a maintenance department under the leadership of the Director of Maintenance, Edward Holland. The FBO also launched a new website www.FlyHighLexington.com and Face book campaign. From December 12, 2010 to July 31, 2011 the website has received 3,500 visits from 709 cities and 38 countries.
