Premier Private Jets’ three FBOs are now being supplied with jet-A and avgas from Titan Aviation Fuels. The PremierFBO network includes facilities at Oakland County International Airport (KPTK) in Michigan; Ohio’s Dayton International Airport (KDAY); and at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (KCVG) in Kentucky.
In the past year, Premier Private Jets’ charter business has more than doubled in size. The charter fleet’s 15 airplanes include 10 Hawker 800s, two of which were added recently, and five Cessna Citations. Since 2024, Premier has acquired the Dayton and Cincinnati FBOs and a maintenance facility in Dayton, and added to its mobile maintenance and AOG services.
“The expanded partnership with Titan builds upon years of successful collaboration at PTK,” said Premier CEO Josh Birmingham.&nbsp;“Titan consistently has demonstrated its reliability, responsiveness, and high standards, which are consistent with our own. We are pleased to have them with us wherever our FBO customers land.”
Premier is evaluating additional FBO acquisitions, he added. “The integration of these three business units—FBO, MRO, charter—has proven a strong platform for success and growth.”

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
