Castle & Cooke Aviation provides the
ultimate private aviation experience
for planes, pilots and passengers alike.
And with an eye toward the future, the
brand is looking to take care of the
environment as well.
In early 2019, the company at its
Van Nuys, California (KVNY) location
helped host business aviation’s inaugural
demonstration day of sustainable aviation
fuel (SAF), proving the concept that SAF
is safe and ready for operator use. As 250
aircraft arriving and departing the airport
that day had the opportunity to fuel with
SAF, the FBO’s role was integral in raising
awareness for the product to help garner
commitments from operators — a pivotal
activity to encourage further production of
the limitedly-available product.
With the same eye for sustainability,
Castle & Cooke Aviation is also installing
solar panels on four of its largest hangars.
As good stewards in Southern California,
the project will remove 3.2 million pounds
of carbon dioxide, which is the equivalent
of 680 acres of trees.
As the company leads the way in
environmental initiatives, it continues to
be a true bespoke FBO service provider
that emulates excellence in every detail,
making the company an international
operator’s optimum choice for customs in
the Pacific.
Castle & Cooke Aviation Van Nuys
welcomes guests with redefined luxury
and unwavering attention to detail. Those
escaping the bustle of LAX are met with
every high-profile amenity and support
service an FBO can offer. International
operators requiring customs are taxied
directly to the U.S. Customs office where
the Castle & Cooke Aviation team meets
guests with passenger cars or concierge
vehicles for expedient service in the
greater Los Angeles and San Fernando
Valley area.

care for pilots, passengers and aircraft
