Team and location

The FBO is managed by Dustin Gallagher, a 14-year member of the BGR team and former chief dispatcher who served as a US Army infantry team leader in Afghanistan, with passenger services led by Heather Lavaway, who joined BGR Aviation in 2008 and coordinates operations for high-profile customers including presidential visits, and a fuel sales and services coordinator. Bangor, the third-largest city in Maine with about 34,000 residents, sits on the Penobscot River nine miles from the University of Maine and close to Acadia National Park, Baxter State Park and Sugarloaf. A customer quoted on the site calls BGR one of the best FBOs it has worked with, from line crew to dispatch.
