What does an FBO manager do?

An FBO manager oversees the operations of a fixed base operator (FBO), or an organization that offers aviation products and services, like fuel and hangar rentals, at an airport. Your responsibilities as an FBO manager include budgeting and accounting, overseeing fuel sales and other transactions, and arranging fuel deliveries. You are also responsible for hiring and scheduling employees, coordinating maintenance and repair services, managing rental services, and building and maintaining a customer base. Your duties may also include participating in training with airport authorities, creating emergency plans in case of a fire or another incident, and hosting training and meetings with other FBO workers.
