Castle maintains FBOs in Van Nuys, California, Honolulu, Hawaii
and Everett, Washington. In 2009, Castle & Cooke Aviation, VNY,
received approval from the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) for
another 30-year lease at Van Nuys (VNY) and in so doing gained
approval for full FBO rights and privileges. "With the expansion of
our leasehold, we now welcome all transient aircraft customers who
have been searching for a quality provider in VNY. With very
favorable fuel pricing and a long standing reputation for
outstanding aviation services and safety, we are the FBO of choice
in VNY. Adding Chevron as our fuel provider will help us reach more
flight departments who trust the quality of their product and our
services." states Steve Friedmann, Executive Vice President of
Castle & Cooke Aviation.
"Castle & Cooke is already benefiting from our network of
more than 600 FBOs," said Martin Hiller, President and CEO of The
Hiller Group. They are also taking advantage of our best in class
Product Integrity Training, Customer Service, and our on-site
Quality Control reviews in an effort to provide the best possible
service to its growing customer base."
David H. Murdock, Castle's Chief Executive Officer and owner,
has been operating at VNY since 1975 and built his first hangar
there in 1981. Mr. Murdock's Lear 25 was the seventh jet to be
