No they don't. It's called self serv.




Most FBO's are struggling to get by. The FBO earns some part of it's
income from flying lessons - so theres a reason for the airport to
support the monopoly FBO.

And that's illegal.



Some airports have tried to ban free lance A&Ps. There's usually an
excuse, like safety, but it's really the same reason.

Also illegal.
