Desert Jet Center, the desert’s newest and highest customer-rated Fixed Base Operator (FBO) located at the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport (KTRM) in Thermal, California, is extraordinarily proud to announce it has been named among the Top Rated FBOs in the Americas and rated #1 FBO in Palm Springs, CA, for the second consecutive year in the coveted annual Aviation International News (AIN) FBO Survey.

The results of the 2023 FBO survey taken by AIN subscribers and those frequenting FBOs globally over the past year also named Desert Jet Center’s Line Service Technicians #2 in all the Americas, with Guest Service Manager Melina Verdugo noted among a few select individuals in the Above & Beyond category.

The AIN annual survey rates five categories: line service, passenger amenities, pilot amenities, facilities, and CSRs (Customer Service Representatives). FBOs must demonstrate consistency in all categories to place at the top of the survey.

“It’s very exciting to be acknowledged as one of the top-rated FBOs in the Western Region for a second year,” said Desert Jet Center General Manager Roman Mendez. “Our team takes tremendous pride in providing a special experience for each of our guests, and it’s inspiring to receive such overwhelming support back from them. I am honored to work with such a great team and thrilled they are recognized in such a notable publication like AIN. Thank you to everyone who voted for us!”

“I could not be more proud of the entire FBO team for the effort and professionalism demonstrated at KTRM,” said Desert Jet CEO Jared Fox. “We set the goal of being the best FBO in the world and continue to work towards achieving that objective. It is a real honor to have our hard work and dedication recognized by the great pilots, aviation professionals, and travelers that use Desert Jet Center when visiting the Coachella Valley.”
