XN Air Offers "Gold" for Flights to Winter Games

Jan. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- SPOKANE’S XN AIR OFFERS “GOLD”
FOR FLIGHTS TO 2010 WINTER GAMES

Phillips 66® Aviation FBO serves as a TSA-Designated Gateway to Vancouver games

SPOKANE, Wash. – XN Air (KGEG) is offering up to 5,000 bonus WingPoints® from Phillips 66® Aviation for flights from Spokane International Airport to Vancouver for the 2010 winter games.
   With Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) in place, XN Air serves as a United States Designated Gateway – one of the few available for general aviation flights into Canada for the 2010 games, February 12-28.  
   XN Air is also among the fixed base operators in the western United States approved by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to conduct customs clearance screening.  For a minimum fuel purchase, XN Air will provide complimentary onsite TSA security and baggage handling in its new, multi-million dollar executive terminal.  
The Phillips 66 Aviation fuel dealer can also coordinate clearance and aircraft support to meet Canadian entry requirements.  A Ground Security Coordinator (GSC) is on staff to provide clearance for larger aircraft.

       Thousands of bonus WingPoints will be awarded to every XN Air customer using a Phillips 66 branded credit card in conjunction with a WingPoints Rewards Card for flights to the 2010 winter games.  XN will award 2,000 bonus WingPoints for one-way flights from Spokane to Vancouver and 5,000 bonus WingPoints for a roundtrip.  
       WingPoints can be earned on every aviation fuel purchase at XN Air and other participating Phillips 66 FBOs.  WingPoints can then be redeemed online at wingpoints.com for debit or gift cards, or donated to charities such as Angel Flight and Young Eagles.
   “We’re giving away bonus WingPoints to promote our Designated Gateway status and the convenience XN Air offers in terms of customs clearance and large aircraft capabilities,” explains Alan Hale, President of XN Air.  “Our hangars can accommodate G-5 class jets, while our pilot center and terminal are brand new, state-of-the art facilities.  XN Air makes for an attractive alternative to Seattle’s Boeing Field.”
       
       In addition, fuel purchases over 100 gallons will also earn free three-day parking.  The FBO says early reservations are strongly suggested.   Customers can also enter a special winter games drawing for prizes including a night at the Northern Quest Casino near the airport.  
   Serving sporting events, fans and teams has become part of XN’s regular business.  Gonzaga bases DC-9 charter at XN to support its men’s and women’s collegiate basketball teams.  During the recent national figure skating contest held in Spokane, the FBO also hosted dozens of aircraft from around the country.  
       Traffic to XN Air has also increased since the FBO opened its new executive terminal, says Hale, while the new in-terminal restaurant has proven to be a draw.
