The results of the 2008 FBO Survey conducted by NBAA Convention News’s sister publication Aviation International News show some interesting moves up and down the list of the Americas’ Top FBOs. Perennially top-rated Wilson Air Center’s Memphis, Tenn. base once again garnered the top spot on the list, and this year the FBO’s rating climbed to above the 9.00 mark, to 9.03, making it the sole Americas FBO to garner a rating above 9.00. In second place, Pentastar Aviation/Million Air Pontiac climbed one notch from last year’s third-place position, displacing Long Beach’s AirFlite, which moved down to third place.

Fourth place Falcon Trust Air of Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport entered the Top 10 for the first time.
