County commissioners will rebid for FBO at Apalachicola airport


County commissioners have agreed to rebid for a fixed base operator at the Apalachicola airport.

The FBO provides services at the airport like fueling, hangar rental, tie-down and parking, aircraft rental, aircraft maintenance, and flight instruction.

The board has had a hard time finding a company to provide the services, they have negotiated with a few companies but all of the negotiations have fallen through.

Currently the county itself is providing services at the airport, but are concerned that if they don’t find a professional FBO that the airport will begin to become a financial  drain on the county instead of the money maker that the county wants.

County planner Alan Pierce said he is already aware of some companies that are interested in the work and he will begin discussions with them immediately while advertising the position locally for two weeks.
