Environmental Risks in FBO Operations: Are You Prepared? ✈️🌍
Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) play a critical role in aviation, providing fueling, maintenance, and other essential services. But with these operations come significant environmental risks and liabilities—from fuel spills and stormwater contamination to hazardous waste management and regulatory compliance.
A recent industry report highlights real-world cases where FBOs faced major financial and legal challenges due to environmental incidents. For example:
🚨 Fuel hydrant system leaks led to long-term groundwater contamination and remediation costs exceeding $400,000.
🚨De-icing fluid mismanagement resulted in wetland contamination, regulatory fines, and millions in compliance costs.
🚨 Hazardous waste mishandling left FBOs contractually liable for pre-existing pollution, leading to costly cleanup efforts.
🔍 Key Takeaway? Proactive environmental audits and risk management strategies are essential for protecting both operations and financial stability.
Identify risks before they turn into costly liabilities.
