Municipalities Competing with Private FBOs: Fair or Foul?
As many of you are aware, over the past couple of years there has been an effort by a number of municipal airport managements in the United States interested in entering the aviation services business where private enterprise providers already exist.
It’s a political hot potato to be sure. No one is suggesting that municipal airport-managed FBOs should not exist. There have always been airport-managed FBOs providing essential services at small and large airports, and for good reasons.
The controversy arises when a municipal airport authority decides to either compete with or edge out an existing private FBO enterprise. This begs the question: Is it fair, or is it foul? To answer this question, let’s examine both sides of the issue.

Carpets for FBOs
Photo by: Julie Jantzer-WardA couple weeks ago, we noticed a CNN.com post about Carpets for Airports, a Web site that waxes critical on the artistic and design merits of carpets in airport terminals around the world.
Like many of the best Web sites and Internet memes, it is a bemusing way to waste some time.
So knowing that many of the pilots who use AC-U-KWIK have down time between flights, we invite all to send us photos of carpets at FBOs. Like the contributors who place the airport carpet on a pedestal, anyone submitting photos of FBO carpets should include the airport and FBO name and an analysis of the carpet design.
To show that nothing is sacred, we at AC-U-KWIK will add the first carpet photos to the gallery ...
