Kissimmee Gateway Airport is First Choice for New FBO KAZ Aviation

Kissimmee, FL – January 31, 2008 – KAZ Aviation, based out of Nashville, TN, is now set-up and doing business at Kissimmee Gateway Airport (ISM) as a full-service FBO (Fixed Base Operator).

ISM is KAZ Aviation’s initial location, launching a fairly aggressive expansion plan over the next several years.

“We are looking for undiscovered diamonds, and we have found one here at Kissimmee Gateway Airport,” states Steve Bowlin, VP of FBO Operations at KAZ.  “As we search for expansion locations, we are looking for smaller airports that have high growth potential and are very close to resort and travel destinations,” explains Bowlin.

KAZ Aviation plans to open approximately ten additional FBO locations throughout the U.S. over the next several years.

Bowlin adds that KAZ does not necessarily want to be the biggest.  “Our objective is to be the best. Our focus is on personalized service at a fair price, with facilities that will have that country club look and feel and offer clients full amenities and services.”

“We welcome KAZ Aviation to our airport and feel honored that ISM was their first choice for launching their operations,” states Terry Lloyd, Director of Aviation at ISM.
