Smart decision-making can be the difference between complete success and utter failure when it comes to your company’s bottom line.

FBO Logistics is here to help ensure your bottom line remains strong–for now and in the years to come. In fact, if you are a Part 135 Commercial Air Carrier that does not take advantage of FBO Logistics' unique rental opportunities that ensure both FAR 91 and 135 Compliance for overwater routes, your bottom line will surely suffer.

Here is how our exclusive program works:

FBO Logistics, located in West Palm Beach, FL, is a company that primarily rents life rafts, life vests, and other survival equipment, which are mandated by the FAA for all Part 135 Operators. Notice that the description did not say “suggested for all Part 135 Operators.” If your charter company’s airplane is flying overwater without the proper survival gear on-board, you are not FAA compliant. FBO Logistics can help ensure that does not happen–while simultaneously saving you thousands of dollars per year in fuel costs because you are not forced to fly over land routes only.

How can FBO Logistics supply this much-needed survival gear on a national scale?

At FBO Logistics, we have a nationwide network of Fixed Base Operator Depots whereby Part 135 Operators can rent life rafts, life vests and other survival gear, as opposed to dealing with the extra fuel cost of up to $500,000 per year if your aircraft is permanently rafted and hauling around an extra 60 to 90 pounds per flight. In addition, to purchase an FAA-compliant life raft like the ones we offer (with top-of-the-line triple-frequency GPS systems), it would take an extra $12,000-15,000 away from that precious bottom line. In other words, availability, lowered operating costs, and increased fuel savings translate to greater success for any Part 135 Commercial Air Carrier.

As an added bonus, FBO Logistics is pleased to offer its innovative “Smart Move Program,” whereby, for example, you can pick up the necessary survival equipment at our FBO depot in New York at Teterboro Airport and drop it off in Houston at our depot there. The saving grace is you do not have to ship the equipment back to New York. You see, inside the life rafts are air canisters, which make the equipment hazardous material to ship. Without the “Smart Move Program,” you would be forced to find a Class 9 FAA certified shipper and pay up to $700 to ship the equipment back to its originating spot. With our “Smart Move Program,” you don’t have to worry about the added expense or hassle. FBO Logistics is bridging the gap for you.
