Dear private pilots,
Please try to STAY AWAY from Luxor Egypt (HELX) at all times.
I arrived there in February 2011 and paid 5 USD per liter for avgas. Nobody knew what the avgas price was until you got the bill. So before I left I had a huge bill from Tiger Aviation Services (HELX) from About 6000 USD for a small twin engined aircraft. There is no way of avoiding the 3000 usd landing and handling fees once you landed there. These guys invented corruption for sure!
If you are ferrying you aircraft to Africa, Asia, please take extended ferry tanks and please overfly these thiefs! You will save!
