In this episode of The Cross-Check, we sit down with David Buritica, Director of Global Sales Program at Signature Aviation, to explore the evolving role of FBOs in today’s business aviation landscape.
David shares his personal journey into the industry and breaks down why FBOs aren’t just fuel stops -- they’re often the first and last impression a customer gets. From redefining customer experience to driving local economic impact, we cover it all. David also gives us a closer look at Signature’s BRAVO initiative, which is focused on leveling the playing field for smaller operators. Plus, a thoughtful discussion on why mentorship and education are key to keeping the industry thriving.
