Landing Fees

Landing Fees at DeLaurentis Airport

DeLaurentis International Airport is a privately owned airport that we have chosen to open for public general aviation use. Landing and parking fees help fund runway and taxiway maintenance, safety and regulatory improvements, and day‑to‑day operations so we can keep the airport open and improving for pilots and the Oak Harbor community.

Our goal is to keep fees modest, transparent, and easy to understand while ensuring the long‑term viability of the airport.

Landing Fees

Landing fees are based on the aircraft’s published Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) and are charged per landing.
Weight (MTOW) Cost
Up to 4,200 lbs MTOW $10 per landing
4,200–8,399 lbs MTOW $50 per landing
8,400 lbs and over $100 per landing
**Fuel purchase waiver:** Landing fees are waived with a same‑day purchase of 40 gallons of fuel or more on the field.

We understand that not all aircraft carry 40 gallons of fuel. The waiver is designed to recognize higher‑volume fuel purchases and support the fuel provider. Still, our base landing fee for smaller aircraft is intentionally set as low as possible to remain fair and affordable.

If you are unsure which category applies to your aircraft, please contact the airport office and we will be happy to help.

Parking Fees Per Day

Aircraft parking fees are charged per calendar day or portion thereof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all aircraft pay a landing fee?
Landing fees are assessed based on MTOW and aircraft usage. Most visiting general aviation aircraft fall into the lowest fee category. However, landing fees are waived with a same‑day purchase of 40 gallons of fuel or more.
Are landing fees waived with a fuel purchase?
Yes. Landing fees are waived when you purchase 40 gallons of fuel or more on the same day as your landing. If your fuel purchase is below 40 gallons, standard landing fees apply. We realize many smaller aircraft cannot take that much fuel, so we’ve kept the base fee for light aircraft intentionally modest to reduce the impact on those pilots.
Why is the waiver set at 40 gallons?
The waiver is meant to recognize higher‑volume fuel purchases that significantly help support the airport and fuel provider. Rather than raising landing fees across the board, we combine a low base fee for smaller aircraft with a waiver option for operators who regularly uplift larger volumes of fuel.
How are landing fees calculated?
Fees are calculated based on the aircraft’s published MTOW and the number of landings. The applicable rate for your weight category is multiplied by the number of recorded landings during the billing period, unless waived by an eligible fuel purchase.
Why does DeLaurentis charge landing fees when some small airports do not?
Each airport has different ownership, funding sources, and operating costs. As a privately owned airport without ongoing state or FAA airport funding, we rely more on user fees to keep the runway and facilities safe, maintained, and open to public use.
