Most agencies that mention FBOs at all are still figuring this side of the business out. Even the one that ranks best for it says, in its own words, that its FBO work is newer — and doesn't have a single named FBO result to point to yet. We'd rather earn that than claim it. Start with a $2,497 diagnostic built around your FBO specifically, and judge us on that before anything bigger.

Fuel price, service speed, and how you're treated in the first thirty seconds walking in the door — that's what shows up again and again when pilots talk about choosing one FBO over another. Some of it's outside marketing's reach entirely. But how easily a transient pilot or dispatcher can find you, check your fuel price, and know what to expect before they ever call the ramp — that part is exactly what a digital presence is for.
One small-airport FBO manager put it plainly on a pilot forum: it's genuinely hard to know what separates a "good" FBO from a "great" one when you're not staffed for round-the-clock coverage and every amenity dollar has to earn its keep. That's an honest question most FBOs are quietly asking themselves. It's also, not coincidentally, exactly what a diagnostic is built to answer.
Not emailed as a PDF and left for you to interpret.
It's a 12-section, 12-month digital plan built around your FBO specifically: your service lines, your ramp, your service area, your based-tenant and transient mix. It's detailed enough that you could execute it yourself without hiring anyone else. Most people don't. But you could — that's why it's priced like real work instead of given away as a generic audit.
Aviation Creative works exclusively in aviation. Ken Starnes, founding partner, is a commercial pilot with 40 years in aviation, ~10,000 hours in corporate jets, and CEO & Founder of GlobalJet — ARGUS International Platinum and WYVERN Wingman rated. Tom Moore runs the Preflight and the day-to-day work — 20 years in IT infrastructure and a law-enforcement background, which tends to produce more documentation discipline than a typical marketing résumé.
If it makes sense to keep working together afterward, ongoing support runs on three tiers, six-month minimum term.
The Preflight is never bundled into a tier as "included." Full tier detail lives on the Flight Path page — this page doesn't duplicate it, to avoid a second, driftable pricing surface.
