Ready, willing & able
Port City Air, the FBO at the
Portsmouth International Airport
at Pease is finding new ways to
differentiate itself through sustainable
projects and enhanced capabilities.
During this process it has become
a leader in trans-Atlantic technical
stops for aircraft of all types and
sizes. Founded in 2004 as a
traditional FBO with a small Part 145
repair station the modest FBO has
grown-up.
Fifteen years later it is
supporting multiple airlines, cargo
operators and a vast number of
business jet operators who seek
experienced, professional, hassle
free international technical stops.
Building the ground support
equipment capabilities and fuel
infrastructure to support the variety
of aircraft Port City Air (PCA) now
sees has taken years. PCA is
continually growing so it can back
up its motto of always being ready,
willing and able to support any
aircraft, any time.
Aircraft operators are capitalizing
on this as well as Portsmouth’s
strategic location on the coast of
New Hampshire. With its 11/231
runway, 24/7 ATC tower and 24/7
on field US Customs, PCA sees
international aircraft every day of the
year. Competitive handling and fuel
rates add tremendous value to its
ability and experience in servicing
aircraft and taking great care of
flight crew and passengers.
Sustainability has become a
goal for Port City Air in 2019 and
beyond. In November it completed
a 300kW solar array atop the FBO
hangar, with phase two coming
online in 2020 with arrays atop
their four other high-tail hangars.
In addition to this, it added a Tesla
Model 3 to its fleet of complimentary
guest cars. The airport is also
installing eight rapid charge stations
for electric vehicles to support its
customer base’s increasing use of
electric vehicles.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
is coming to Port City Air in 2020.
This new “drop-in” fuel is derived
from sustainable sources instead
of fossil oil and is certified by all
western aircraft and jet engine
manufacturers. The plan is to
support operators flying inbound or
outbound to/from Europe looking
to fly more sustainably. They will
support this with a dedicated
SAF tank and refueler, allowing
customers to choose how much
SAF they want to uplift.
