According to The Bellingham Herald, Chase Larabee found himself bit by the entrepreneurial bug at a young age. As many entrepreneurs already know, that urge is hard to ignore.
Larabee, 21, started ALLFBO.com in June, an online program to help airport fixed-based operators handle refueling, hotel and transportation reservations and other requests from private pilots.
With the growth in private jets and the number of small- to mid-size airports, Larabee believes it’s potentially a huge market to tap. With his company’s software program, FBOs can not only organize interactions with pilots, but can provide details about what they tend to want, leading to a better customer service experience.
With an office in Bellingham, Larabee and four employees have been scouring the country, landing contracts in New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.
“To get this far feels pretty good,” said Larabee, who has experience in flying as well as working at an FBO. “It’s great to have something that can be as useful in Bellingham as Texas.”
