GateOne has purchased the JetWest FBO at California’s Salinas Municipal Airport (KSNS).
With the acquisition finalized on September 26, 2024, the Salinas FBO, to operate under the name JetWest GateOne, became the network’s first location in the Golden State and its fifth overall.
Recognizing JetWest has been a fixture at Salinas Municipal Airport since 1976, GateOne plans to continue its longstanding legacy of customer satisfaction and exceptional service.
President and CEO of GateOne, Thomas Mathew said, “I am excited about this new venture and look forward to merging GateOne and JetWest. I expect a seamless transition as our well-trained staff—deeply familiar with the needs of the Salinas aviation community and its customers—will advance the impeccable reputation JetWest cultivated throughout its 40+ year history.”
As the GateOne brand grows, impeccable service and incomparable safety standards remain at the core of its operations. This holds true for JetWest GateOne in Salinas.
The newest facility to the GateOne network will operate under the leadership of general manager Ryan Gauger.
The FBO features red-carpet service; pilot and passenger lounges; a gym; car rentals and courtesy vehicles; and on-demand aircraft detailing.
What’s more, the FBO features 6,400 sq. ft. of heated hangar space able to accommodate any model of mid-size jet and specializes in quick turns for a fast, efficient experience.
“My team and I are thrilled to join the Salinas community and eager to offer GateOne’s top-notch services and amenities,” Mathew said. “Equipped with extensive industry knowledge and experience, we are committed to delivering safe, reliable and unparalleled service to our customers.”
As an Avfuel-branded FBO, JetWest GateOne will offer competitive prices with Avfuel Contract Fuel, lucrative rewards with AVTRIP and streamlined transactions with the Avfuel Pro Card.
JetWest GateOne joins sister GateOne locations at Cedar City Regional Airport (KCDC) in Cedar City, Utah; Stinson Municipal Airport (KSSF) in San Antonio, Texas; Chandler Municipal Airport (KCHD) in Chandler, Arizona; and Northeast Wyoming Regional Airport (KGCC) in Gillette, Wyoming.
