Services Expected at a Private Airport
Although an airport may be small, it doesn't mean it lacks helpful services and amenities. Complimentary cars are one such amenity. They are owned by the airport and are there for the use of the incoming travelers. You won't find this service at a big airport. In addition, some smaller airports such as, Hagerstown Regional Airport in Maryland, literally has a "red carpet service." Big aircraft or small, someone comes out of the fixed base of operation and places a red carpet at the door of the airplane. If you need to refuel at a smaller airport, someone will fuel your plane for you and maybe even clean the window. More importantly, you can call ahead to have an attendant there to receive you. If you're stopping for a few hours, some even have a bed to rest in. Most small private airports have an instrument approach, which is a drawn or written set of directions on how to fly into them if the visibility is low.
