This sounds rather like a decent FBO in the states.
I love them, they signal you to your parking bay, chock you up, fuel you up if you want it. Take you to the coffe facility or landside in their golf buggies, give you free coffee and nibbles, have nice pilot lounges with leather sofas and huge TV's, have excellent FPL facilites. Some even give you a car to use if you want to go in to the town.
And the best part is they never charge you! well actualy one of the FBO's at Daytona once charged me $8 because i would not uplift any fuel...but woopdey do. It's not like i had to pay £50 + to land at an international airport.
Mmmm i wonder why some of us prefer flying in the U.S.
