Of course I am familiar with UNICOM, and I also know that ARINC frequencies are individual frequencies for FBOs. But why do I see ASRI frequencies listed in AC-U-KWIK? Is this a new form of technology or just a name change?

Lider Aviacao has opened the first FBO at Antonio Carlos Jobim/Galeao/Rio de Janeiro International Airport (SBGL), the major international entry point in Rio, in time for the 2016 Olympic Games.
New FBO hires are typically required to take orientation classes that cover topics such as safety, quality control, line operations, etc. However, history lessons are generally not included on the training roster. Not the case with Lane Aviation, an FBO celebrating its 80th year serving aviation customers at Port Columbus International (CMH).

“He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and dance; one cannot fly into flying.” – Friedrich Nietzsche, 1844-1900
Friedrich Nietzsche, a controversial philosopher for his time, made this statement before the Wright Brothers even flew, so we may assume he was not referring to the business of training people to fly. However, this quote has much relevance to our FBO flight training activities today.
