Listen to part three of ACI Jet CEO Bill Borgsmiller’s segment on Stew Jenkins’ Public Policy & The Law broadcast from this last weekend. In this segment, Bill and Stew discuss the Paso Robles Airport long-term FBO leasehold decision up for debate next week at the Paso City Council. This is a decision that will affect residents and airport users alike for up to 40 years to come, and the public deserves input in a decision that affects their airport asset and economy. ACI Jet has chosen a path of full disclosure of all proposal details, addenda responses, and answers to questions from select committees–all toward that end.

ACI Jet Launches “Pairs Well with Paso” Campaign to Raise Awareness About Pending Airport Action
PASO ROBLES, California (April 30, 2024) – ACI Jet, a SLO County-founded and headquartered aviation services provider, unveiled today its groundbreaking “Pairs Well with Paso” campaign (paso.acijet.com), designed to elevate public awareness surrounding a pivotal decision under consideration by the City of Paso Robles.
The City is nearing the conclusion of an evaluation of two competing proposals for what could potentially become a forty-year Fixed Base Operator (FBO) leasehold at the airport. FBOs are integral providers of fuel and services for airport users, catering to a diverse clientele including business and leisure travelers, emergency services, military training, pilot instruction, and more.
While ACI Jet has proudly served as Paso Robles Airport's exclusive FBO partner for nearly fifteen years, operating under successive short-term leases, a long-term lease presents an opportunity for substantial capital investments and enhancements to the airport's infrastructure and offerings. This includes improvements benefiting both local aviators and visitors to the vibrant Paso Robles region.
Bill Borgsmiller, President and CEO of ACI Jet and a resident of North County, emphasized the significance of this decision-making process. "This decision is too monumental, impacting too many residents, to accept anything less than the best proposal. I encourage residents to get involved if they want a choice in what is coming.” Bill added, “while each proposal offers a capital investment, as we’ve outlined on paso.acijet.com, only one envisions a facility and services that scale alongside Paso Robles and meets both its current and future demands."
As part of the “Pairs Well with Paso” campaign, ACI Jet has launched a dedicated landing page at paso.acijet.com. This platform offers an insightful comparison between ACI Jet's proposal and the competing alternative, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions. Furthermore, ACI Jet remains steadfast in its commitment to transparency, making all relevant information, from initial proposals to supplementary responses, available to the public.
Airports are not just hubs for aviation enthusiasts; they are vital contributors to community development. ACI Jet's mission of "helping people, businesses and communities reach their full aviation potential" underscores the broader impact of a well-managed FBO on the community at large. With decades of experience advocating for aerospace education, design, and investment in SLOCAL, ACI Jet continues to champion growth and innovation in the region.
