Desert Jet Center, the desert’s newest and highest customer-rated Fixed Base Operator (FBO) located at the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport (KTRM) in Thermal, California, is named the exclusive CAA (Corporate Aircraft Association) Preferred FBO at KTRM.

The CAA organization has negotiated jet fuel discounts for Part 91 operators since 1995. Their goal is to increase the operating efficiencies of members by combining their purchasing power and working with highly respected vendors of services and products that members use.

To achieve preferred vendor status, an FBO must win an overwhelming number of votes from CAA members over competing FBOs at the same airport location. Only one FBO can be named CAA Preferred at a single airport.

CAA members enthusiastically chose Desert Jet Center as their preferred FBO at the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport (KTRM) in Thermal, CA, with many leaving accolades for the experience the FBO staff and facility provided them on previous visits.

Comments include:
“Great service all around. Timely, professional, extremely courteous and know what they’re doing! Been in aviation for some time, and this is a quality organization.”

“Desert Jet has a very nice facility, and the new Owners and their staff are trying hard to enhance customer satisfaction. Complimentary ice cream is a very nice touch, and they are very safe when moving aircraft.”

“Desert Jet consistently delivers good service, and we believe they deserve to be the CAA FBO at KTRM.”

“I have been flying to KTRM for 35 years. Desert Jet is the best.”

Desert Jet Center will be the exclusive CAA Preferred FBO at KTRM from 9/1/2022 to 8/31/2025 when voting reopens at the airport.
