Farnborough Airport has been voted as Europe’s number one Fixed Based Operator (FBO) in the 2025 Professional Pilot PRASE Survey. This marks the airport’s 18th year in the top spot.
What is PRASE?
Overall, Farnborough scored 9.73 in the Professional Pilot PRASE Survey. This survey is an annual ranking based on customer feedback regarding aviation ground services. The achievement is determined by the insights of aviation professionals. This can range from executives of flight departments, aviation managers, chief pilots, and CEOs, all of which contribute their expertise to Professional Pilot magazine.
Simon Geere, CEO of Farnborough Airport, said:
Being acknowledged in the Professional Pilot PRASE Survey for 18 years is a tremendous honour for Farnborough Airport. Our relentless pursuit of excellence is at the core of everything we do, and this consistent recognition reaffirms our unwavering commitment to our customers.
Farnborough recently announced that it has retained its number one position in the 2025 Aviation International News (AIN) FBO Survey. This has secured its status as the leading FBO across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific for 19 consecutive years.
