For operators and flight departments
Can they take it, and can they service it.
Two questions, in that order, and both of them answerable before you file anything. Whether the field will take your type, and whether the FBO standing on it can actually do what this trip needs.
What was complicated is now simple
Can I land?
Instantly look up whether the airport is suitable for your aircraft.
Runway and pavement
- Every runway, with length and width
- Surface
- PCN, so pavement strength is a number you can check against the aircraft
- Field elevation
What the field accepts
- Traffic accepted — whether business aviation is welcome at all
- IFR available or VFR only
- Opening windows in local time, or open 24 hours
- ATC status
The ones that stop a trip
- ICAO fire category, and any extension available on request
- Prior permission required, with the notes attached
- Whether handling is mandatory
- Customs and immigration, for an international arrival
The rest of the aerodrome picture — weather, Notams, security and current charts — is the crew's half of this. That is on the crew page.
Have they got what I need?
This is normally three phone calls and a guess. It should be one screen.
Every FBO on the field, in one comparison
Handling and parking, Jet A-1, ground transport, ramp access airside, VIP catering, customs and immigration, PPR and slot coordination — the same seven questions asked of every FBO at the airport, side by side rather than one website at a time.
Four answers, not two
A service is Confirmed (the FBO told us), Not offered (they told us they do not), Typical (standard at any FBO, not confirmed here) or Not listed (we do not know).
A blank is never read as a no. Booking on a presumption and finding nothing there on the day is the failure this exists to prevent, so the difference between “they said no” and “nobody has said” is kept in front of you.
Credentials in the open
IS-BAH and Wyvern registrations and association memberships shown on the listing, so a standards requirement is something you check before the trip rather than discover after it.
Fuel with a date on it
Published prices in the FBO's own currency and unit, litres or US gallons, carrying an expiry date — a stale price drops off rather than sitting there misleading you into a plan built on it.
An audit that expires
Claimed FBOs answer a structured audit, with documents attached where a claim needs evidence. It has to be re-confirmed every six months or it lapses, so what you are reading is current rather than true once.
Reviews from crew who were there
Verified flight crew, on the things that matter on the day: fuel, handling, crew facilities and speed — with the FBO's reply published underneath.
What is it going to cost?
Fill in your requirements once. We put them to every FBO at the airport, and you sit back and wait for the prices.
- Your aircraft, then what you need. Type the registration and hit look it up — type, make and model fill themselves in — or pick one you have flown before. Then tick the services you want, from a list already narrowed to what can apply to that aircraft.
- Choose who gets it. Every FBO at the airport is selected already; deselect any you would rather it did not go to. That includes FBOs with a bare listing, so you are never limited to what somebody has got round to registering.
- Sit back. Each one prices it against their own services and fuel, and replies by a deadline your arrival time sets rather than one they choose.
- Compare on one screen, and decide. Same services, one currency, side by side — with each FBO's rating and reviews next to its price, so cheapest and best are two different questions you get to answer separately.
Decide on facts and reputation
All of it sits beside the price, on the screen where you are choosing. No research project, no second tab, no phone call to confirm what you were told.
Everything they have told us
Services confirmed one at a time, opening hours, contact and location, fuel carrying an expiry date, and the credentials they hold. What nobody has told us is marked as unknown rather than left looking like a no.
Where their audit stands
Whether the FBO has completed our audit, and when they last confirmed it. An audit lapses unless it is re-confirmed every six months, so a current one means somebody checked recently rather than years ago.
Their IS-BAH, Wyvern and association credentials sit alongside it, with any documents they have published.
Reputation, from crew who were there
Ratings and reviews from verified flight crew, on fuel, handling, crew facilities and speed, with the FBO's own reply published underneath.
What used to take days now takes minutes.
Plan at the desk, fly with it in the bag
You are doing this on a screen with a keyboard, and that is what this site is for. The crew are not — so the same airport, the same FBOs and the same quote replies are in the WhatFBO app on their phone, with nothing to re-send.
The core app is free, and so is everything on this page.
Start with the field. Finish with a price.
No account needed to look, and none to compare. Or send the trip once and let every FBO answer it.
