I was enroute to Charlotte and had a friend advise me that Modern Aviation increased their fees. I previously paid $25 for an overnight with a quite high fuel price at Modern since they took over from Wilson Air. It is now $149 per night for a small piston air plane and a $15 landing charge plus they have quite high fuel prices. This was formerly my go to spot when I would come to my house on Lake Norman. They have lost my patronage and I will ensure they lose everyone else's patronage I can speak with.

Call regarding the new charges before you plan to go! I've been flying in and out of Modern for the past 5 months weekly and flew up with a companion on 12/31/25 and was told they would be putting in a drastic rise in charges... I used this FBO to commute to and from work. Overnight parking for a piston single is now $137/night! I guess I will be driving from here on out, it's quite disappointing. I don't think they even waive a night or the facility fee anymore either with 15 gallons of avgas.

April and Corina at the front desk are awesome! Thanks for the good experience!

Good fbo outside of the pilots lounge, come on modern can we not replace recliners that date back to when the building was built? 2 out of all 8 chairs might work if you hold your mouth right and smash the button enough, Goodluck.

For a Piper PA-24 $30 daily charge (handling/landing combined) 15 gallons waives the daily charge $25 overnight (tie down) $150 hangar fee (if accessible, based on tenant vacancy)
