>>> AVWEB FUEL FINDER CURRENT PRICE FOR 100LL: $5.59 (up 2 from last week) CURRENT PRICE FOR JET A: $5.97 (up 5 from last week) Fuel prices provided weekly by AirNav, based on prices from the past 2 weeks. Changes are relative to last week's prices. /TEXT_ONLY--> AVweb‘s “FBO of the Week” ribbon goes to FlightLine First at Lakefront Airport (KNEW) in New Orleans, Louisiana. AVweb reader Ian Cairns called the airport to our attention this week, calling the staff at FlightLine “good folks trying to make a go of it and up against two national chains.” Ian went on to explain that the main office is still located in a trailer while they finish post-Katrina renovations, “but it has everything – widescreen TV, computer access for briefings, comfortable sofas … [and the] courtesy car is a new Mercedes.” Ian does warn us against higher fuel prices throughout the area, but he says FlightLine is very competitive in that context and should have self-serve options in the very near future. Keep those nominations coming. For complete contest rules, click here. AVweb is actively seeking out the best FBOs in the country and another one, submitted by you, will be spotlighted here next Monday!
