In their words
Taughannock Aviation Corporation was incorporated in 1980, and initially began FAR 135 charter operations with a single Piper Seneca twin-engine aircraft based at TAC’s KITH facility. Over the next 15 years, TAC operated a variety of business aircraft transporting large and small businesses and individuals and moving from short flights in small propeller aircraft to ocean-spanning journeys in the most modern trans-oceanic business jets used by today’s air charter companies.
In 1996, TAC negotiated a new long-term lease with the Ithaca Airport and began the first phase of a three-phase capital development project. With the completion of Phase I (a new 22,500 square foot aircraft maintenance and storage facility) in 1997, TAC immediately benefited through the addition of two new types of business jets to the charter and management fleet. The Phase II 9,000 square foot FBO reception area and office space were completed in April, 2005, and Phase III, a second large hangar (27,000 sq ft) was completed in April, 2008.
In the 21st century, TAC has continued to add aircraft, personnel, facilities and services to better serve our growing client base. Now celebrating 30 years in continuous operation, TAC operates 12 business jet aircraft in charter service and maintains sales offices and aircraft bases in Teterboro, Miami, and Ithaca. The company employs nearly 50 full-time staffers and has amassed more than 40 million air miles and 100,000 flight hours without an accident or an inju

Tammy was very nice and took care of me. One of the first FBOs I’ve visited, and this is definitely the best one around the area. Landing fee was waived with fuel service purchased, and a crew car was available for an hour.

We had amazing service here this weekend. Office staff quickly got us a rental car for a same day visit and the line staff brought it right out to the plane when we arrived. Very professional and made us feel welcome and valued. We WILL be back.

Had a great experience with Taughannock Aviation. I arrived after hours and they marked my parking spot with cones and left chocks and tie downs for me. When we departed the staff was friendly, fueled the aircraft quickly, and helped carry our bags to the aircraft. Tie down fees were $5/night and the $15 handling fee was waived with the purchase of fuel.

Best FBO experience ever. Thanks to Amy for scheduling a rental car to have waiting upon our arrival. Line service was top notch. We were fueled within minutes. Special shout out to the very nice lady working the control tower that day. We'll be back!
