AVweb‘s “FBO of the Week” ribbon goes to Volo Aviation at KEFD in Houston, Texas.

AVweb reader Brian Hunnell recommended the FBO for making an Angel Flight go as smoothly as possible:

I called the folks at Volo Aviation [during preflight, and] … they informed me that 100LL would be $3.75 (normally $3.95) and if we needed “anything” they would accommodate us to the best of their ability. Landing 10 minutes after closing time, we met Buddy Roberts, the mid-day and night manager. He gave us a ride to the hotel, where the patient could relax. This was the patient’s first experience with General Aviation (along with his slightly nervous wife!). Thank you to all who helped and made this a success.
