If you are one of the thousands of pilots planning to fly yourself to EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, this summer, make sure you checkout a special page on GlobalAir.com to find a list of FBOs across the country that are offering discounts and deals to traveling aviators.
Among the offerings for the Oshkosh-bound are discounts on fuel up to $0.50 off each gallon of 100LL gas and jet fuel, free hot dogs in some places, and even discounts on places to camp along the way.
Since 2009, GlobalAir.com has given FBOs a platform to post their deals and specials for Oshkosh travelers.
EAA AirVenture 2022 opens on Monday, July 25, and runs through July 31.
“This is the biggest celebration of the year in aviation and for some of the most passionate people in the world,” said GlobalAir.com CFO Elisa Carrithers. “We are proud to once again offer AirVenture travelers, as well as our FBO partners, an opportunity to support one another, especially in this economically challenging climate.”
AirVenture draws pilots from all over the country to participate, and getting there can be expensive as the cost of a gallon of avgas has topped $7 in many parts of the U.S.
This year’s Oshkosh Specials program also coincides with the recent relaunch of the GlobalAir.com Airport Resource Center, used by pilots and flight departments to research FBO fuel prices, aviation weather, and FAA airport data.
“It’s a great opportunity for us to showcase the new tools on our site,” Carrithers said.
Pilots are encouraged to keep revisiting the page throughout their trip to and from EAA AirVenture, as interested FBOs also have the opportunity to boost their visibility on the specials page with a tiered sponsorship program. FBOs wanting to post their specials or to inquire about sponsorships should email: [email protected].
