User Fees By Another Name - Dallas Set To Implement GA Landing Fee at Love Field
The city cited increasing costs for keeping up with traffic and maintenance needs in its decision to approve the fee. But airport officials also stress that they want to ensure that general aviation pays its “fair share.” (www.ainonline.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Lemme see if I've got this. General aviation accounts for 38 percent of operations at DAL, but the city wants to impose a landing fee that could be as much as 263 percent of that paid by commercial carriers, and they call that a "fair share." Sumpin' ain't right.
This is just the beginning. I’m sure the leasehold rent will go up on the next renewal forcing the charges from the FBO’s to skyrocket. Stayed overnight in Dallas last week and the hotel bill had a “mandatory Dallas TPID Fee” on it and the rental car had a 51% tax rate. Not long ago my hotel in Denver had 7 different tax line items on it. I know some of these taxes won’t go away if I change to RBD and most likely the jet fuel price will increase there because of this announcement. I will probably change to RBD when I can. I’m getting too old for this crap!
What is RBD. Thanks

OT
but you are the one to bring taxes into this.
you paid for jerry's world with that tax. that was part of the negotiations that took place when jerry re-located to arlington. and it encompasses numerous other towns communities in the geographic area. grand praire, mineral wells, etc. euless got hit really hard.

Well, I live in Carrollton myself and am NOT a fan of Jerry. I don't think Carrollton was much affected by the Arlington fiasco. I'd suggest folks fly in to ADS instead of DAL or RBD. I don't think Addison has the taxes that some of the other Metroplex communities have, but I could be wrong.
I’m gonna miss the cherry slushee machine at Dallas Jet Center and the KISS pinball machine!
