I have been working as an airline pilot for 14+ years, and have seen my fair share of abbreviations. (ILS, DME, CEO, CFIT, ATC, TMA, etc.)

But I have absolutely no clue what an FBO is. Even clicking on the link didn't help me out.

BHD website link states that FBO will be ready by 6th June. Lots of dollars are obviously being spent to make the old portacabin look spick and span. No notice of fees and charges yet. Anyone know what they will be? I put a pound on an increase all round for handling. But will pilots/crew/ops get a raise? Rumours of this company being in £$ diffs seem to be misleading looking at the work going on. Interesting times indeed.
