Flying into NYC for Thanksgiving Day Parade

Millionair's daily fee at TEB jumped from $30 to $45 when I was flying
there back in 2004. Based on that earlier post showing the fees at all the
FBOs at TEB, it appears it hasn't gone up since. Fuel, on the other hand,
most likely jumped 50% since that time.

The fees have gone up since. ATC doesn't care, but the people charging for
space on the ground are rather unfriendly to small GA aircraft. In a way,
it makes sense. If we take up the same space as 1/4 of a jet they want to
make the same income as 1/4 of a jet.

My experience at Atlantic at KTEB in March 2005 was just the opposite.
The line guy directed our Warrior to the place where we would meet
customs, then followed us in a minivan, waited for customs to finish,
led us to the tiedown in the minivan (with my family already in the
van), then drove us all to the FBO. Given that the tie-down was,
maybe, 50 meters from the FBO, I found that pretty excessive, but I
certainly cannot complain about being ignored. I managed to talk them
out of driving us back to the plane for the trip home.


All the best,

I talked to all of them on the phone and they all seemed just as eager to
get my business as the next FBO. With that being said, I did think that
Atlantic had the best customer relations over the phone and was looking
forward to giving them a try.

Well, I'm surprised but pleased.
