GAO Investigates FBO Pricing
The Government Accountability Office has bitten on AOPA’s two-year-long campaign to end what it says is gouging by FBOs at some airports. (www.avweb.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Man I hope something comes out of this. Some of those fees are RIDICULOUS!
you are not kidding!!
More like "What In The Hell?!" RIDICULOUS! Any FBO's that are against this or those who are taking their time to publish their fees, are just here for the $$$! (my $.02)
Anecdotally, El Paso Aero charged me $812.29 for a flat nose wheel tire on a Mooney. Looking at the receipt we figure it was $10 to air it up listed as "shop supplies". This was a pretty clear gouge
Please check into Signature at KBWI. Nearly $1,000 in fees or waive a portion by buying $9.06 / gallon JetA, yet another major gouge Thank you
For those who really absolutely have to go to BWI yeah - its the cost of doing buinsess. Martin State has Jet A @ 4.74/gal. Other options are avaiable too.
