America Jet's FBO at America's Fuel Stop - the Salina
Municipal Airport in Kansas - will again be refueling
increased cargo flights during the holiday season.
From now until Dec. 24 America Jet will be refueling
two to four Custom Air Transport, Inc., Boeing 727
freighters per day, according to America Jet
President and General Manager Greg Lust.
Custom Air, based in Dayton, OH will be
flying additional cross-country cargo flights to meet
increased holiday demand. Custom Air contracts
with small package services such as the United
States Postal Service to handle increased volume
during the holiday season.
"Our mid-continent location, available 12,300 foot
runway, and first-class service provide our air cargo
customers an ideal quick turn fuel stop," Lust said.
"America Jet's corporate and air carrier jet customers
experience world-class service each time they pull in
to America Jet at America's Fuel Stop," said Tim
Rogers, executive director of the Salina Airport
Authority. "Salina welcomes the additional business,"
he added.
America Jet is a premier Phillips 66 aviation fuel
dealer based at the Salina Municipal Airport known

offered to over 7,000 business jet aircraft that
