Six major aviation associations yesterday jointly published, “Know Before You Go,” a number of best communications and business practices designed to make FBO pricing more transparent to customers. The KBYG list includes potential prices, fees and charges pilots might face at an airport. The awareness campaign is designed to improve the overall customer experience. “While retail fuel prices are readily available online at multiple websites, it is presently not common practice for FBOs to make available online other prices and fees,” a group news release said. Parties to the document were GAMA, NBAA, AOPA, HAI, EAA and NATA.
