Does anyone have information about contract and retail Jet-A prices for GA in the Middle East? I don't need specific contracts or anything proprietary, just some general info on how it compares to the States. Jeddah or Dubai to be specific. I'm just doing a little research. Thanks.

You need to be comparing the right stuff Jack, fuel prices for GA in the US generally include a large into-plane fee which pays for the handling as long as you take enough. Fuel prices outside Northern America are just that, they don't include anything other than the fuel so appear to be a lot cheaper.

Your questions on the surface seems a simple one but it isn't due to the difference in thinking. Generally though ME fuel pricing is cheaper as it's nearer to a big source of oil :)
