The Draughon-Miller Regional Airport in Temple received the 2007 Premier Spirit Gold Award from ExxonMobil Aviation during a luncheon on July 30. This is the 10th time the airport has achieved award recognition in the Premier Spirit Program. The airport, which competes with over 250 fixed base operator (FBO) airports nationally, has also consecutively won the Gold Award for the past three years.
The Premier Spirit Program rates airports on four criteria: customer service, quality control, fuel sales and image. Pilots that utilize an airport rate the facility based on the service they receive at the participating FBO. In one of the components, quality control, the Temple airport consistently scored 100 percent compliance for their management of the fuel and fueling equipment.
