PAL Aviation, Commitment to Excellence

For the second consecutive year PAL Aviation Services has been voted the top Fixed Base Operator in both the Atlantic Region and across Canada. This year, the honour goes to its Halifax, Nova Scotia, location. Last year, their St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, location took home top honours in Canada.

“The PAL Aviation Services team is very honoured to receive the Top FBO in Canada Award again this year,” says Lynette Carroll, Director of PAL Aviation Services. “We are especially proud this year as it demonstrates the consistency of our high-level customer focus across our locations that our clients have come to know, and appreciate, regardless of which one they visit.”

Step down from your aircraft in front of PAL Aviation Services Halifax, located at Nova Scotia’s Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ), and in seconds you will enter the warmth of their FBO and be welcomed by their exceptional team of customer service experts. Going above and beyond to get their clients in the air, on time and with the greatest of ease, is priority one at PAL Aviation Services. The team’s hospitality and commitment to service excellence ensures their customers always leave happy.

“The leadership we have in Halifax is exceptional and each employee shares our vision for ensuring we go above and beyond for our customers at every touch point. The service they provide is what sets our team apart from our competition,” added Carroll.

“We have an extremely dedicated and passionate team here in Halifax and I am overjoyed they were recognized this year for their extraordinary customer service,” said Lee Myers, FBO Manager, PAL Aviation Services YHZ.

Beyond the FBO’s main lobby area is a business centre, pilot’s lounge, crew sleeping quarters, showers, TV, internet, computer and more. In these challenging times of the global COVID-19 pandemic, PAL Aviation Services YHZ has taken some extraordinary health and safety measures. In addition to the now ubiquitous plexiglass partitions, face masks, and hand disinfectant dispensers, the FBO has invested in a heightened cleaning process. The main touch points in the FBO are cleaned between flights and it is regularly fogged to disinfect the entire premises.

“We recognize the impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on air travel and we have implemented safety measures that meet or exceed public health protocols so that our clients can take comfort we are doing our best to keep them protected. This is consistent across all our facilities and our staff have done a tremendous job on this during these unprecedented times,” says Carroll.
