Corporate History

Robert L. "Buddy" Stallings, III, founded Eastern Aviation Fuels in 1975 in New Bern, North Carolina. For over a quarter century, Eastern has been exclusively dedicated to the aviation industry. Serving aviation is Eastern's only business.

Over the years, Eastern has aligned itself strategically with major oil companies to bring its FBO customers secure supply, clean, high-quality fuel, and a professional image.

Eastern Aviation Fuels growth is, in part, accountable to its aggressive acquisition initiatives. Consolidation through acquisition of many distributors in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic states, coupled with superior customer service and attention to detail has made Eastern Aviation Fuels the largest distributor of aviation fuel products in the Eastern United States. Currently, the company's dealer network has grown to well over 350 FBOs and also serves many airlines, corporate flight departments, helicopter operators, and aerial applicators.

A professional "flying" aviation sales staff assures top-notch, highly personalized customer service and a greater understanding of your FBO business.

Eastern Aviation Fuels' attention to its customers is unmatched anywhere in the aviation industry. Our customers are our partners.
