Naples FBO

There's only one FBO in Naples. Its the Naples Airport Authority. They
have a monopoly. And use it.


I fly into Naples once a month. They always treat me right. Even get to use the
car to drive for breakfast. The fuel prices are a bit on the high side, but
they cater to deep pocket clientel.
During the Hurricane I repositioned my bird to Naples and they took good care
of it.

Good barbeque joint right across the street. From the NAA, walk out the
the drive to the road and cross the street.

The "they", you are referring to, are the line guys etc. Great people,
no doubt. But still, NAA, aka "the management" is using their
monopolistic position, hence the high fuel prices. They are also getting
sued right now, because of alleged violation of the sherman act.

Cheers,

AirNav shows the price there as $3.12 for 100LL. The small field I'm based at
(Lakewood, NJ) is charging $3.05, Old Bridge is $2.95, and Allaire is $3.12. And
the Brits will probably chime in now with figures that I don't even want to
think about.

It's high everywhere. Naples prices seem to be pretty fair.

Sorry George, think about this. £1.24 per litre. With £1 = $1.94 at the
moment makes it $2.40 a litre. There is just about 4 litres to the US
gallon but will not calculate it out fully as this is not the time of year
to see grown men cry.

With Jet fuel at £0.38 a litre, you can see why here in Europe, diesel
engines seem a absolutely necessary development.
