FBO and Airport Operators Detail How They Buy, Own and Maintain Aircraft Tugs

Why It MattersRamp equipment ownership split between FBOs and airports shapes who funds tug replacement and maintenance, a cost that sits behind every mid- and large-size aircraft move.

Oct 17

A GlobalAir column, "Abby's Ramp Ramble: The little tug that could," published Oct. 16, 2026, surveys FBO and airport operators on how they acquire aircraft tugs, what keeps them in service longer, and what goes wrong on the ramp. The column focuses on FBOs that frequently move mid- to large-size aircraft.

FBO and Airport Operators Detail How They Buy, Own and Maintain Aircraft Tugs

Ownership arrangements vary: some operators own their tugs, others share ownership with the airport, and some private FBOs use airport property in daily operations. Alex Membreno, airport operations manager at Gill Aviation and David Wayne Hooks Airport (KDWH), is among the operators quoted.
