User Fees By Another Name - Dallas Set To Implement GA Landing Fee at Love Field
The city cited increasing costs for keeping up with traffic and maintenance needs in its decision to approve the fee. But airport officials also stress that they want to ensure that general aviation pays its “fair share.” (www.ainonline.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Dallas Executive is my choice (KRBD). Great FBO at Ambassador along with CAA furl prices.
I switched to Grand Prairie years ago and have never regretted it.
I wonder if they'll name the new subdivision "Love Fields"...
Back in the day, we wanted it to be "The Lemmon Avenue Drag Strip".
The City of Dallas has been pushing for more commercial traffic since the Wright Amendment expired and it was undoubtedly going to be GA traffic which was going to suffer. The effect this will not be increased traffic to RBD but more movement to TKI, ADS, and DTO. DAL will again run off GA with plenty of options to receive better services than RBD and its' crime ridden area.
With the highway traffic situation in Dallas I would love to have an alternate to RBD for meetings in the downtown area but since I’m not local I’m not sure what that would be. I don’t think ADS or certainly DTO is the answer. After finding out about how political the city council was in this whole process I changed my mind and will probably stick with DAL. Gonna take it in the shorts one way or another so at least DAL will be the most convenient. A lesser of two evils. My perfect solution now would be to avoid Dallas as a whole and switch to a different city.
The drive from ADS to downtown vs. RBD is inconsequential and the fees at DAL will arrive at RBD if they are successful at steering any significant amount of traffic there, and they won't. tre. is right, it's the hood, and ADS doesn't have that blight and is a far more accommodating environment for corporate GA and professional/owner flown pilots. And there is no signature on the field. Million Air or Atlantic you know and there is no landing fee per se. Since you are a transient, don't feed the machine. That's city hall. Still haven't been voted off, Cheers.
