Big Island Jet Center is excited to announce a major milestone in its operations as it sold its one millionth gallon of fuel this July.
The achievement comes within seven months of the FBO’s grand opening and before the completion of its permanent terminal, slated to be finished in summer 2025.
“We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment, especially in such a short amount of time,” said Tom Owen, general manager of Big Island Jet Center.
“Our temporary facility has been incredibly well-received, and we are excited about what the future will bring. The BIJC team is honored to serve its community and is humbled by the opportunity to continue fueling guests’ adventures each day.”
Hawaii’s newest FBO, located at Kailua-Kona’s Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport (PHKO), celebrated its grand opening in December 2023 as a start-up on the field.
Big Island Jet Center’s new terminal will provide a Pacific oasis showcasing a true “Aloha Spirit” while providing cutting-edge amenities and services, including luxurious waiting areas, well-appointed restrooms and office space.
In the meantime, the FBO operates out of its temporary terminal, boasting more than nine acres of parking space and planeside vehicle access; a 50,000-gallon jet fuel storage facility; indoor and outdoor passenger seating; a pristine lobby and luxury accommodations; and full services, including ground handling, towing, USDA inspections and catering.
