Nutz 0 #27 November 24, 2008 I really think that if fuel prices stay low that they will keep these jump prices through the spring to try to make the margin a little better and maybe get closer to breaking even. Then in the spring I would not be surprised to see some all you can jump for one price type boogies. Thats just my opinion. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

hackish 8 #28 November 25, 2008 QuoteI doubt Perris (which owns the airport and also retails fuel) pays "pump" prices since they buy Jet A by the truckload at what must be wholesale figures . . . It may be entirely different in the US but here from what I understand there isn't a lot of markup on the fuel. Considering an A340 takes about as much fuel as most jump planes burn in a month the margins are probably quite slim. chris-ottawa - who is charging $38 for 10k? -Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkhayes 348 #29 November 25, 2008 we have not seen a change in Jet A yet, so our prices stay the same right now. I think it dropped 10 cents a gallon last time we bought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LloydDobbler 2 #31 November 26, 2008 QuoteHas anyone out there seen the price of altitude go down yet? I sure haven't $27 cash to 12,500 here. Regular auto gas today was $2.11. The last time gas was this cheap I believe I was paying $18 per jump. Mile-Hi had gone up to $27, and even had a little DZ 'pow-wow' for the DZO to tell us why the cost of jumps were going up. About a month ago, they lowered them back down to $26. Last week, it went back down to $25. I, for one, definitely didn't expect that. But am definitely appreciative of the gesture, since it would be easy for the mgmt to just consider the excess as 'extra profit' now (especially with as little competition as Mile-Hi has).Signatures are the new black.

GreenLight 7 #32 November 26, 2008 "I, for one, definitely didn't expect that. But am definitely appreciative of the gesture," Good job to your DZO. I suppose we will pay what ever it takes to keep jumping but yes it is a nice gesture. And even though the cost of fuel might be dipping I know the cost of everything else just keeps going up. I wonder if our DZOs can get in on the BIG BAIL OUT? LOL... Somehow that ended up being a pun.Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there."

tripleflip18 0 #36 January 29, 2009 Does anyone know if prices have fallen accross the board at all of the dropzones or are prices just as they were when fuel cost was 2.5x as expensive? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpwally 0 #37 January 29, 2009 You want to see prices drop a bit,,,take a month or two off,,,lack of demand will sure make a difference,,its how the rest of the markets work... smile, be nice, enjoy life FB # - 1083 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #38 January 29, 2009 JetA prices have fallen a little but not much. They are still upwards of $3.99 per gallon at the tap on most airports if not more at some. At their high point this summer they were around the $5 mark and higher so they have only fallen by 25%. If you want to see the cost of JetA locally take a look at http://www.airnav.com/fuel/local.htmlYesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,523 #39 January 29, 2009 And AVGas is still way up there.
