Trajen FBO Network Makes Landfall at Kissimmee Gateway Airport
Company Purchases Ranger Jet Center

Kissimmee, FL – March 23, 2006 – Trajen FBO Network makes their first appearance in the Southeast market by purchasing Ranger Jet Center at Kissimmee Gateway Airport (ISM). The company has taken over all of Ranger Jet Center's FBO operations.

Trajen selected ISM as its first location in Florida because of its convenient access to the Orlando area and excellent alternative to Orlando International Airport. The FBO will add a full-time concierge department and additional line service staff to ensure superior service regardless of air traffic. The company will also provide in-house personnel to support events that are often held in the Orlando area, such as the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) tradeshow.

"We look forward to working with Trajen FBO Network and are honored they selected ISM as their first Southeast location," Terry Lloyd, director of aviation said. "Their presence at the airport will boost our local economy and help our facility become increasingly recognized."

The Trajen FBO Network currently consists of 20 FBOs in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Arizona, Wyoming, California, Colorado, New York and Alaska. The company is based in Bryan, Texas.

Ranger Aviation, the development arm of Ranger Jet Center, will continue to have a presence at ISM developing aviation property. Currently, the company is constructing the Jet Center complex, a 60,000 square-foot executive terminal that will house corporate offices; tenants; conference rooms; and a restaurant.
