Trego-Dugan Aviation
Trego-Dugan Aviation was the airport's third-party ground handler, winning the contract for above- and below-wing service (check-in, ramp, baggage, GSE) for Avelo's December 2023 launch at ACV and equipping the station with new ground-service equipment and staff training. Avelo ended ACV service in October 2025, so Trego-Dugan's current carrier assignments (e.g., for Breeze/Alaska) are not independently confirmed.
