Titan Aviation Fuels has entered into an exclusive partnership with Aero Specialties to launch the Titan Preferred GSE Program powered by Aero Specialties. This initiative is intended to offer operational advantages and benefits to the more than 675 Titan-branded FBO locations worldwide.
Through the program—designed to help FBO operators improve equipment reliability, increase operational efficiency, and lower total cost of ownership—participating Titan network locations will have access to preferred pricing on ground support equipment (GSE) and OEM parts, including sustainable, electric-powered options; global service and support resources; operational training; and fleet optimization expertise.
“At Titan, we’re always looking for meaningful ways to strengthen the value we bring to our network partners,” said Kathy Moss, the North Carolina-based fuel provider’s global business development director. “Aero Specialties has built an outstanding reputation throughout the aviation industry, and this partnership allows us to connect our FBO network with world-class equipment, support, and expertise that will help operators’ success.”
“Together, we are creating a program that delivers real operational and financial benefits while helping FBOs prepare for the future of ground support operations,” added Aero Specialties CEO Brad Streeter.&nbsp;

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