Avflight Durango (KDRO)

Avflight Durango took excellent care of us. We were heading into town when one of the linemen happened to be going that way too, so with his help we got a quick look around Durango. They warmed up the plane with AC available, and it was looked after very well during the couple of days we were there. BTW, Durango has a pretty good trolley system, so if you’re flexible, you MAY be able to manage a couple days with UBER. I definitely recommend Avflight Durango and the crew there.

I like flying into DRO, but the landing fees have gotten astronomical. Our last stop was only about 30 minutes, we picked up 25 gallons of fuel in a single engine piston, and the lady at the desk wanted to charge us $45 in handling fees. After a short back and forth we got that knocked down to $10-12 (security fee, facility fee, and tie down fee).

Unbelievable extra fees. We knew the fuel price was steep, so that part wasn’t a surprise. We only came in here because family is in Durango. And then, to top it off. Amy at the desk was flat-out rude and a nightmare to deal with. David, our lineman, was great. After the experience with Amy at the FBO desk. Next time we’ll go into Farmington and just rent a car up to Durango. I won’t be wasting my time landing here again.

Working out of here for fire suppression, and the whole Avflight team has been extremely accommodating. The Black Hills Helitack crew cannot thank Avflight enough for their hospitality and superior service!

Good FBO and a solid team there. Just know there are fees if you gone get fuel. Overall 9/10.

Piston single: $30.00 in fees (Facility, Security, Tie Down). Buy 10 gallons and $15.00 is waived.

Clueless young guy at the FBO desk. I asked for my aircraft to be towed into the wind for engine start, and he told the line crew to drag it around in a full circle instead. I’m staying away from this FBO, because who knows what he’d do next.

Expensive 100 LL, but superb, welcoming assistance even for a single-engine piston, and might waive some charges with fuel purchase. Drove the Enterprise rental car right up to the plane. Would surely keep my plane here again.

The maximum charges we have paid in Colorado. Brought the cost of fuel up to nearly $10 per gallon for Jet A. This was subsequent to taking more than the minimum to waive the ramp charge in a VLJ. The personnel is friendly and useful. We would visit this airport more often if the charges were not so elevated.

Fantastic service this past week at AvFlight! While on approach for Rwy 21 AvFlight called on UNICOM and asked if we needed a car or fuel. When we replied we had a Hertz rental car coming over, they said it was already there and would have it waiting for us on the ramp. They marshaled us to our parking spot and the rental was there waiting. We were out the security gate in under 5 minutes and made our business appointment on schedule. Superb work AvFlight! - Wes S.
