<description>&lt;p&gt;I believe that this is the only FBO left at Logan, an airport that hates GA more than any other public North American airport (thanks to Massport).  I called Signature just to see how bad the fees are, and here&#039;s what I got for a two-night stay in a Piper Cherokee (note that not all of them are under Signature&#039;s control):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$33.00 landing fee&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$166.60 parking (2 nights)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$48.40 GA fee (!!)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$56.00 security fee&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$28.00 handling fee (waived with 7 gallons fuel purchase)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn&#039;t ask about a customs fee, but there&#039;s a steep one at Bedford/Hanscom (also run by Massport), so I expect there&#039;s one here as well.  I think the security fee is for being poked, prodded, and metal-detected by the TSA, just like if you were flying on the airlines.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By comparison, if I flew my Cherokee into Washington/Dulles (another large airport affected by 9/11) and parked at the Signature there, I&#039;d pay an $8.00 landing fee, $18.19/night parking, no customs fee, no security fee, no GA fee, and the same $28.00 handling fee (waived with 7 gallon fuel purchase).&lt;/p&gt;</description>
