    Doug, I just happen to have the financials for the airport someplace. Lets just say they are NOT making any $$$$. In fact it is a BIG loser. At least a half million LOSS per year in fuel sales. Thats why they needed to boot NB Aero off the field. The Contract tower is costing the FEDS about...

That's nearly double what they pay the airport director at Beaumont. A much larger airport. The city lost $500,000 last year in its fuel ops. That's after...

    City trying to close FBO. Claims tainted fuel

    It's more complicated (and expensive) than just leasing a truck and selling fuel. The cost of the insurance to sell fuel and the cost of the fuel itself could be lost if the city jumped in and stopped the sale of fuel. Then all that money would be lost with no chance of recovery. It was...

They can not take the chance of purchasing fuel and insurance as long as the city has made its intentions known that they will not allow fuel sales. We're talking tens of thousands of...
