Fuel Surcharge on Fly-In trips

[pjg03]

Hello- I'm new to the board so if this repeats another post, my apology! I am wondering with gas prices such as they are and with commercial carriers now adding a surcharge whether we will also begin to see this from the fly-in outfitters. If so, any idea how much we would be looking at in terms of additional cost?

I've only been hit with a surcharge once in 18 years of tripping and it was only an additional $20 per man. Who knows what will happen this year though.

I think your best bet would be to call the operator of that fly-in service and ask them. Some may adjust their rates to cover increased fuel costs.

 

Edit: Oops, and welcome aboard.

two fly in operators I am familiar with both posted fuel surcharges at sportsman show. Looks like it will be more common this year. No posted $$ that I saw.

 

 

As Roy stated call ahead and get total $ so you don't have any surprises and you're crew will appreciate knowing as well

i know talking with darren at the sportsmans show from lakeland airways he said his prices were set and hope the price of fuel didnt go up too much , i dont think he was going to charge a fuel surcharge

Don`t think it would be unusual with gas prices moving daily, we even get them on our trash collection bill.
