EP #013 - Aviation Growth Podcast

In this episode, we sit down for a discussion with Jim Wiley, CEO, and Steve Tubbs, SVP of Operations, from X-1FBO, a fast-growing provider of integrated software and hardware built to streamline the key functions of FBOs.

Jim has spent the last 25 years in the FBO business, on the flight line, and managing FBOs like Priester, Sheltair, Atlantic, Landmark, and most recently Signature. After seeing all of the broken, manual processes found in most FBOs, Jim set out to create a platform to solve them and co-founded X-1FBO in 2015. Over the last few years, Jim has led the key sales, business development, and product development initiatives for the business.

Steve Tubbs recently joined X1-FBO as the SVP of Operations as the business kicks off plans for the next phase of scaling. Steve spent the last 7 years at Flightdocs / ATP as the VP of Operations and Client Services, is an Army Veteran, and an Embry Riddle Grad.

In this conversation, we cover the story of how X-1FBO got off the ground, their investment in new technology, focus on “Old School Support”, and what the future of FBOs will look like in the next 5-10 years.
