Refuelling airport !

[Lima Oscar]

Hi guys,

I plan to visit a friend in Malta in the coming weeks and I was looking to refuel around Rome and more precisely in Urbe. Is it a good plan? Do you see any alternatives ? (maybe cheaper ? :}) Knowing that I'm coming in a PA28, there is no problem for me to land on a grass strip but it seems that avgas is not very common...

Any advices very welcome ;)

Thanks.

You can refuel at Terni: quicker and cheaper than Urbe. Closed on Mondays. Caution, parachute activity.

Aviazione Leggera On Line - modif. arf 10/3/09 (http://www.ulm.it/hangar/campi/scheda1.htm?chiave=283&condizione=regione&sel_ordine=nome+asc&valore=umbria&)

I confirm Terni as a cheaper option compared to Urbe. Especially now with the new fuelling station located on the opposite side of the airport You would avoid flying to Urbe.

Thanks for the advice ;)
Which fuel price should I expect ?

Where are you coming from ? If it happens you fly over Corse I know for sure Figari is cheaper than Italy.
100 NM south of Naples there is Scalea. I think is about 3 euros, very very fast and friendly.

2,85 euro!

...what about a fuel stop somewhere along the adriatic east coast ? Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, prices there are usually well below 2.50 € per liter nowadays.

LJPZ Portoroz 2.20
LDZD Zadar 2.25
LDDU Dubrovnik 2.28
LYTV Tivat is very cheap, should be below 2 €/L

that'a a nice link about fuel prices

Well, i'm coming from Nancy (LFSN, north east of France), so i will not overfly Corse, and the Adriatic coast is to far from the planned route (the shortest possible :cool:) so...
I was expecting between 2.8 and 3€, so i'm not surprised. Anyway, thanks for the advices and the link :)
