Nice airport and facilities. Just be aware of all the fees. The airport itself will charge a landing fee. Then, Air Bound will charge $25 ramp fee IN ADDITION to $18 per night. The $25 ramp fee is waived with 20 gallons fuel purchase. MMU is now a contender because they recently started waiving their airport landing fee for small planes. I may be going there next time (ramp fees, etc, still apply).

DO NOT LAND. Stopped for fuel. No one said anything about a landing fee. FBO did not mention it or try to collect. Instead, got an invoice in the mail for $10 landing fee and if I did not pay in 10 days in would double. Hope they invest it well as I will not be back.Response from Guyon Nelson, General Manager, Air Bound Aviation, LLC
To clear up a misconception about the landing fees at Essex County Airport. I would like to state that Air Bound Aviation has NOTHING to do with Airport Landing Fees charged by the Essex County Improvement Authority who operates the airport.

Great FBO no issues with Air Bound. I flew to KCDW to drop off my airplane for its annual at C&W Aeroservices. Flew in, flew out. FAA tower sent me a $15 landing fee by tagging it to my airplanes tail number. Who says we don't have user fees already. I was on the ramp for about 10 minutes and drove away in a rental car. Thanks...FAA

I've made 3 trips to CDW since Avantair closed and have been pleased with the service. Fuel prices and fees are what they are. We fly to CDW because they are close to our customers.

Fair Is Fair.. I too was also with Avantair and now an Air Bound client. Kmart is out of business at CDW and we have Nordstrom’s now. Pilots wake up and smell the roses. If you fly into a very nice Class D airport with a beautiful FBO do you really think it's fair to expect no ramp fees. Should they and their facilities be available 16 hours a day for zero dollars. Buy some fuel and support the lone FBO or we will wind up with NO FBO! If you don't like paying for real services then go to Lincoln Park Airport where they have no services. BTW the FBO has nothing to do with the counties landing fees (which are reasonable).

Recently, and since the demise of Avantair here at (CDW), Air Bound is the ONLY choice for transient aircraft to park/refuel, even for 30-60 minutes. A potential buyer for my Grumman AA1b, who had the aircraft on a "trial basis" and based elsewhere, flew in to (CDW) to pick up the logbooks for review. Since I was a prior customer of Air Bound (fuel) my debit card was still "on file" with them. Today, I was surprised to find an "unauthorized" charge of $25 for ramp parking debited to my account! Now, had Avantair still been open, and since I was also a former customers of theirs after I switched to using them after my request from Air Bound management when I was THEIR customer, to place a small sign advertising my Grumman AA1b, NOT a "G-5", on the corner of their counter which was "axed" in the words of a somewhat arrogant CSR, I immediately moved my business to Avantair. In the future, Air Bound might try NOT "stepping on to many toes" on their haste to the top!

I flew in for a meeting. They let the Limo drive up to the plane. I felt like I was Donald Trump.... Except I have hair. Parked for 5 hrs. When I went to settle up the very nice girl explained it was a $55 ramp fee or fuel. This is fair. They offer a very nice lounge and ramp. I said ok, fill it up, but it won't take much. They filled my tanks. Total of 6.0 gals. That was it. No ramp fee. Very nice, very courteous, very enjoyable. To the gentleman below, I can only say "did you ask them to waive the ramp fee?". I will be back.

Discovered AvaintAir went out of business a few days ago. Called Air Bound to reserve a rental car for a business meeting. Friendly and helpful. But when I left I see I got hit with a $40 ramp fee from Air Bound for parking from about 7:30am to 1:30pm. And that even after I purchased $200 of gas and rented a car. Oh and that does not include the $12 Port Authority Landing Fee. I doubt I will be back.

I think it only fair that I update my previous experience with Air Bound and Hertz, at the Caldwell airport. Hertz did finally correct their mistakes and applied the appropriate credit. The folks at Air Bound received me promptly and professionally on my latest visit. The Manager, Desk and Line Staff made every effort to make sure my visit was trouble free. More importantly, I mistakenly stated that Hertz is your only choice for Rental Cars. The Staff at Air Bound politely corrected me that they can make rental car arrangements with your choice of company, including Enterprise and Avis. Hats off to Air Bound for minding their customer service reputation, and I recommend them regardless of the size of your aircraft.

The Folks at Air Bound are the best, always quick and polite service. THE PROBLEM is HERTZ rental car. BE VERY CAREFUL when picking up and returning your car, make sure there are NO errors on your contract, and make sure that the Air Bound Desk CALLS HERTZ to log the car as returned. Because HERTZ does not Staff this location, you have no reasonable assurance that your car is returned properly, or if your gas addition is properly logged. HERTZ customer service is absolutely miserable in this regard. They are polite on the phone, but had to call TWICE to get the matter corrected. And it is still not corrected a week later. They won't send confirmation of the correction, you have to wait for a change on line. Again, NOT REALLY Air Bounds problem, but since they use HERTZ exclusively, you need to follow-up carefully.

I have used Air Bound several times now and have always had excellent service. The line personnel always help with luggage and allow the rental car to pull up to the plane for easy loading. Elizabeth at the desk was very helpful with the car rental. Guyon the GM has worked to secure hangar space when I needed especially when the weather was a concern. Air Bound is the #1 choice when flying into KCDW for me.

(Full disclosure: our aircraft are based at Air Bound.) We receive - and witness other tenants' and transients' crews and pax receiving - the highest level of service from Air Bound. Cathy and the CSR crew either know the answer or find it fast; Guyon and his line staff are personable and professional; and Andy and his management team are on-site, on-hand, and all-in. All this within minutes of area offices and attractions and at a fraction of the cost of TEB, MMU, or EWR. Air Bound is a hidden treasure among NY/NJ-area FBOs.

Staff was friendly but the Gen. Mgr. was very difficult to work with - I was there on May 12th for 3 days, purchased over $1000 of fuel and was charged over $200 for misc. Charges which he absolutely would no waive. Then, after paying the bill, I asked if I could put the extra charges on another credit card (a simple request) - he refused. I'll never go back to this FBO!

I chose CDW to visit the metro NYC area. Even thou there are several airports closer to the city, you can't beat the price of fuel and the commitment to service at CDW. An overall wonderful experience. I arrived in a "competitor" airplane, but was still treated wonderfully. The lineman, after pulling up our rental car and helping with the luggage, even offered to install our various exhaust covers once the engine cooled off.

3/30 I was conducting a meeting at Air Bound's facilities at KCDW. I flew in from KPNE after picking up a colleague at KFRG. With my attorney, an initial investor and my colleagues in Air Bound's impressive meeting facility, I lowered the thermostat in the conference room to 72 deg F, as it was about 80 deg in there. Guyon Nelson, Air Bound's GM threw a hissy fit and scolded me in front of my meeting participants. I apologized to the staff at Air Bound later that day. After dinner at an outstanding restaurant in Cedar Grove, NJ; Lu Nello's. I arrived at Air Bound at 10:30 PM to return home. Air Bound's hours of operation as posted are until 11:00 PM. Air Bound was closed and I luckily was able to get to my plane thanks with the folks working at the control tower. Today, 4/2, I again arrive at Air Bound to meet yet another partner/investor in my new venture. I was waived off in utter embarrassment in my 2005 Grumman Tiger. Response from Guyon Nelson, General Manager, Air Bound Aviation, LLC
There are two sides every story. And while we hate to have to vet these differences online, we cannot let the above distortion of basic facts be left as the definitive word either. While Mr. DeJoy paints himself to be the unintended victim of a cantankerous FBO manager, we saw a person who is profane, arrogant, and disrespectful of others on the most basic of human levels. In the FBO business every customer is precious, yet on the other hand, I won't ask my employees nor my other customers to tolerate the kind of abuse this man can dish out. To protect my own integrity, and the great reputation we have built up over the years as a business... sometimes you have to fire a customer.

First time in the PC-12 to this airport and FBO. WOW! The snow really is three feet or higher along the taxiways as the NOTAM states. Almost too high to have the Pilatus wing still have clearance. The FBO arrangements for hotel and hangar were excellent. Nice to have Pilatus oriented staff here. When needed, we plan to return to this wonderful facility. Keep up the great work! Hope to be back next time when the snow is gone.
