FROM THE MANAGER
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! The end of 2020 is finally in sight. It has certainly been an interesting year to say the least but hopefully it has also allowed everyone time to evaluate what is most important, and areas we can improve.
Going in to 2021, Pearland Regional is going to continue to grow and improve. Some of the changes this past year have been big, such as our fuel farm overhaul with the new terminal and self-serve Jet-A. Some have been smaller but certainly enhance our quality of daily life. As always, we love hearing from people about ideas for the airport so keep them coming. What works and what doesn’t? Heck, even what brand of coffee should we serve in the FBO? If you have a suggestion - big or small - please contact me directly. I would love to hear from you!
This year, the FBO will be changing our regular holiday hours so that we can provide better service for anyone who may be out and about this year. Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, the FBO and airport offices will be closed all day. Self-serve AvGas and Jet fuel will still be available.
From my family to yours, I truly wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

General Manager
NEW PEPSI MACHINE
As mentioned in the article above, we are constantly looking for ways to improve the airport. A great example and addition is our partnership with Pepsi Co. to provide a new soda machine located on the deck outside of the FBO which allows 24 hour access. Current options include Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, Iced Tea, Mug Root Beer, Gatorade, and Bang Energy. Feel free to send in any additional requests!
This is the first small step in a much larger plan involving the FBO through 2021 for us all to look forward to!
HOLIDAY HOURS
Please note, the FBO will be closed on Christmas Day (12/25) and New Year’s Day (1/1). As always, self-service will still be available.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
