Avflight Rochester

Avflight Rochester is a full-service FBO at Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport, serving western New York's business aviation community from a facility at 1205 Scottsville Road. The operation holds CAA Preferred FBO status and offers over 5,500 square feet of customizable office space in addition to standard FBO amenities. The facility is consistently well-reviewed for friendly staff and quality service that reflects Avflight's network-wide standards. For passengers arriving by charter, the FBO provides a comfortable terminal experience with ground transportation coordination, fueling, and ramp handling. Pilots requesting taxi instructions can ask ground control on 121.7 for the 900 ramp to reach the Avflight facility directly. Rochester's economy is driven by the University of Rochester and its affiliated Strong Memorial Hospital, Eastman School of Music, and the Rochester Institute of Technology. The Finger Lakes wine region begins about 30 miles south of the airport, with over 100 wineries spread across Seneca, Cayuga, and Keuka Lakes. For passengers flying in for wine country weekends, corporate retreats at the area's lake resorts, or visits to the George Eastman Museum and other cultural institutions, Avflight Rochester provides the primary FBO option at the region's largest airport. The airport's 8,001-foot primary runway accommodates all business jet types, and the field's position about five miles southwest of downtown puts passengers within 15 minutes of the city center, the University of Rochester campus, and the Strong Memorial medical complex. Avflight competes with USAirports Flight Support on the same field. Rochester experiences significant lake-effect snow from Lake Ontario, and both FBOs maintain deicing capabilities to keep operations running through western New York's demanding winters.
