At San Carlos Airport (SQL), being a good neighbor starts long before an aircraft takes off. For many visiting pilots, the first person they meet at SQL is a member of the Rabbit Aviation Services team.
Rabbit Aviation Services, our on-field fixed-base operator owned by Dan DeMeo, plays an important role in keeping the airport safe, efficient, and community-minded. From fueling aircraft and coordinating the transient ramp to welcoming visitors and helping pilots navigate the airport, Rabbit is often on the front lines of our commitment to responsible airport operations.
Helping Visiting Pilots Fly Friendly
As the first stop for many transient pilots, Rabbit helps introduce visitors to SQL’s Friendly Approach. Their team helps point pilots to our published noise abatement procedures, designated run-up areas, and community-friendly operating practices.
These everyday conversations matter. A quick reminder on the ramp can help visiting pilots better understand local procedures, reduce noise impacts, and support the Airport’s ongoing commitment to being a good neighbor to the surrounding community.
Leading the Transition to Unleaded Aviation Fuel
Rabbit has been a leader in the transition to unleaded aviation fuel. SQL became the first airport in California to offer an unleaded aviation fuel option, and Rabbit helped make that possible by providing UL94 to local and visiting pilots. Two flight schools at SQL operate exclusively with unleaded aviation fuel.
In addition, Rabbit has assisted many other Bay Area airports in adopting and promoting unleaded aviation fuel. Their experience has helped advance clean aviation options across the region while supporting pilots through the transition.
A Valued Community Partner
Rabbit Aviation Services is more than a fuel provider. Their team helps welcome visitors, support safe airport operations, promote quieter flying, and advance cleaner aviation fuel options. We appreciate Rabbit’s continued partnership and their role in helping San Carlos Airport operate safely, responsibly, and with care for our surrounding community.
