Airports depend on quiet reliability behind the scenes, and Nicholas Fasano, founder and chief executive officer of PBP Services, built a company to deliver exactly that for mission-critical facilities serving airlines and the wider aviation community. The enterprise he leads focuses on operations and maintenance that keep people, planes and infrastructure moving with confidence.


Fasano’s path to entrepreneurship began long before incorporation. Training in Aviation Management at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University gave him practical understanding of how airfields function and why small lapses in detail create large consequences. Senior leadership roles across the industry sharpened that insight. By 2001, he launched PBP Services with a clear intention to provide superior support and specialized equipment to airlines and airports where uptime is everything and trust is earned shift by shift.


Growth followed a builder’s cadence. The company learned the rhythms of passenger support systems and terminal operations, then expanded capability across baggage handling systems, jet bridge oversight, deicing and airside transportation. Teams learned to integrate with passenger and cargo carriers without disrupting the choreography of a live terminal. Processes were shaped to balance safety and responsiveness, and a lean structure allowed deployment where clients needed help most.


The model rests on simple pillars that travel from proposal to tarmac. Flexibility meets each airport’s unique environment. Reliability shows up as documented procedures and technicians who understand the stakes. Exceptional service is measured in fewer delays and fewer surprises. These proven methodologies help partners protect the integrity of flight schedules while keeping travelers and crews safe in a fast-moving environment.


A five-year plan positions PBP Services for strategic expansion while guarding the values that fueled its start. Fasano outlines investments in technology that improve coordination and visibility, including tools that support quicker decisions for field teams. 


Industry peers view Fasano as a steady operator who brings decades of aviation, operations & maintenance experience to every conversation. As a Titan 100 Honoree, he is recognized for leading with a client-centered approach that pairs adaptable teams with exacting standards. That combination has helped the company operate effectively in a competitive marketplace where performance is public and expectations are high.


Accomplishments range from executive tenures at the corporate level to mentoring the next generation of aviation and operations professionals. Pride rests in work that allows airports to run smoothly through weather swings and daily travel surges, and in colleagues who have grown into leaders capable of carrying the culture forward.


PBP Services shows up for mission-critical facilities with meticulous care, uncompromising safety and practical value for partners running complex environments. Guided by disciplined execution and a clear grasp of what airports genuinely require, Fasano has become a standard-setter in aviation support, enabling the team to deliver reliability where it counts most.
