After an hour of shmoozing time in Shoreline’s jet hangar, Kate introduced Travis, who talked to the guests about Shoreline’s many roles as airport FBO (fixed base operator) and airport management company for the town. He described the various departments of the company, including aircraft management, charter flight services, certified Piper aircraft maintenance, sales and acquisitions, and its flight school.

Clearly, one of the highlights for guests was touring a Citation XLS+ jet, one of Shoreline’s charter aircraft. Shoreline boasts a fleet of three Citations, two Pilatus PC-12 turboprops and one Falcon 2000 XL jet, based between Palm Beach, Florida, and Hyannis. The Falcon can fly globally.

There was also talk about the electric aircraft charging station that Shoreline installed in 2023 – the first in the state and now one of two – for the developing electric plane industry. Shoreline also installed charging stations in the front parking lot for public use for EVs.
