Customers must have a minimum of 15 non-tenant at home trips in the prior quarter to Atlantic Aviation FBOs.
Customers must own / manage / be responsible for at least one fixed-wing aircraft currently a tenant with Atlantic.
Customers must have Coupa payment account complete.
Any customer who meets the eligibility requirements can sign up for Atlantic Ascend. However, only one account per Atlantic customer is permitted. It is recommended that an individual with fleet and/or financial oversight for the customer registers for the account.
A tail can only be added to one account, so the primary operator of each aircraft should claim the tail for their account. Any subsequent requests to add a tail to an account of another customer will result in that tail being removed from the prior customer’s account.
Any aircraft added to an account during a quarter will not be included in market share calculations until the next full quarter. Any aircraft removed from an account during a quarter will be removed for the entire quarter (even if trips were made while the aircraft was still owned).
Yes, customers with a network contract are ineligible for Ascend.
No.
No, although private companies servicing government contracts may be eligible.
All fixed-wing aircraft are eligible for Ascend (both for market share and fee rebates). Any type of non-fixed-wing aircraft are ineligible for Ascend.
Any tails which are unable to be publicly tracked will not contribute towards eligibility. If you provide authorization to our data provider to unblock your tail for our tracking purposes, we will review adding your aircraft to eligibility requirements.
Fees incurred by blocked tails are still eligible for rebates, so long as market share requirements are met.
Once approved, customers will stay in the Ascend program. Customers will still be required to meet the 50% market share threshold to receive any rebates. Should eligibility requirements cease to be met or other material factors change, Atlantic may make adjustments to membership at any time.
Customers must achieve 50% or greater market share (visits to Atlantic FBOs divided by flights to Atlantic airports) in competitive Atlantic Aviation locations in a full quarter. Customers earn higher rebates with higher market share.
If customers achieve 50% or greater market share for more than one consecutive quarter, their rebate will be multiplied – 2x for two consecutive quarters and 3x for three or more consecutive quarters.
All competitive airports (i.e. more than one FBO option at the airport) served by Atlantic Aviation.
Yes.
All Atlantic Aviation FBOs are eligible for fee rebates.
Non-tenant parking fees, lavatory servicing fees, water servicing fees, drop off fees, facility fees, security fees, and GPU fees are eligible for rebates. All other fees, including airport-assessed fees are currently ineligible.
At this time, only the above-mentioned fees are eligible for rebates.
No.
No.
Market share and fee tracking commences on the first day of the next calendar quarter after registering and being approved for the program.
Depending on customer market share, a certain rebate percentage is set for the entire quarter (e.g., 3%). That percentage is multiplied for all eligible customer fees for the entire quarter (e.g., $50,000 x 3% = $1,500).
