For seamless connections between stunning superyacht destinations in the Caribbean, Standard Aviation St. Thomas in the idyllic U.S. Virgin Islands has no equal. The fixed-base operator (FBO) is a long-time preferred partner of IGY Marinas – the world’s largest superyacht marina company – and it’s easy to understand why. Located at Cyril E. King Airport, Standard Aviation has an enviable reputation for luxury and top-tier customer service. Moreover, it lies just minutes from IGY’s stunning Yacht Haven Grande, multiple winner of Superyacht Marina of the Year. Describing what makes Standard Aviation so appealing, Tammy Gedman, Sales and Marketing Manager at IGY, says: “You’ve got the best FBO in the Caribbean able to transport you in luxury to the four-time winner of the Superyacht Marina of the Year, plus a wide range of ancillary services including crew transfers and pick-up of charter guests, all delivered with exceptionally high levels of comfort and care.” QUALITY ACROSS THE BOARD Standard Aviation’s premier status was underlined in April 2024 when it was voted No. 1 FBO in the Caribbean in the Aviation International News (AIN) annual FBO survey. The operator received an outstanding average rating of 4.6 (where 5 is the perfect score) across the five categories of line service, passenger amenities, pilot amenities, facilities, and customer service representatives. The award places Standard Aviation in the top 20% of FBOs in the Americas and the only Caribbean FBO on the list. Standard Aviation is also loved by pilots: it was voted top FBO in the Caribbean in 2022 by Professional Pilot magazine.
SUPERB FACILITIES Part of the Air Elite network by World Fuel, Standard Aviation sets a new standard for aviation in the Caribbean, with unrivalled facilities and impec- cable customer service. The FBO’s aviation complex boasts 24,000 square feet of enclosed hangar space – the largest free-span building in the Caribbean – plus a conference room, pilot lounge, pilot shower, and restrooms. The complex provides aircraft fuel and services, along with exclusive access to 24/7 customs clearance with advance notice. The Standard Aviation team is well-equipped to handle nearly any aircraft, with callout service available round-the-clock. The icing on the cake is the unparalleled white-glove service to further enrich the client and crew experiences. GLAMOROUS GATEWAY Thanks to its enviable location, Standard Aviation acts as a gateway to both the U.S. and the British Virgin Islands, welcoming high net worth visitors to St. Thomas and seamlessly connecting them to their destination or yacht. As well as being next to IGY’s Yacht Haven Grande, the FBO is also well placed for IGY’s American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook to the east of the island. It is within easy reach of other IGY luxury marinas in Turks & Caicos, St. Maarten and St. Lucia, and more than a dozen islands in a 50-mile radius.
