Seattle-based FBO Partners signed an affiliation agreement to provide NATA’s FBO members with consulting services via NATA Aviation Solutions. The affiliation will also result in training courses created exclusively for NATA members.

With this agreement, “NATA is taking a leadership role in offering specialized business assistance services for its FBO members, and expanding its FBO management development training,” said FBO Partners president Doug Wilson. NATA president and CEO Thomas Hendricks noted that the partnership will “offer continued support to our FBO members with these new initiatives.”

The first course offered by NATA and FBO Partners—“The Essentials of Hangar Subleasing: From Risk to Revenue”—is scheduled to be out in May. Targeted at FBO owners, managers and decision-makers, the one-and-a-half-day course will cover “best practices, strategies and negotiation skills essential in hangar subleasing.”
