FBO Fees
The aggregate handling, parking, ramp, security and after-hours charges levied by a private terminal — typically billed to the operator and passed through to the charter customer.
IN PRACTICE
On a typical European empty-leg, FBO fees can be the single biggest line item after fuel and crew. Quotes from different brokers vary partly because each operator has different commercial agreements with each FBO.
