TRANSIENT PARKING
You won’t find any transient parking at KUDD. Crown Aero is the FBO on site and they are fantastic.

FUEL
Full service fuel is provided by Crown Aero, soon to be Dunes Air. Please note there is no self-serve fuel at this airport.

RESTROOMS
Restrooms are located within the FBO.

CREW CAR / RENTAL CARS / RIDESHARE
Crew cars are available with a 2 hour limit. A rental car for longer stays can be arranged with the FBO. Rideshare may not be reliable in the area.

FOOD
You’ll find plenty of food options within 5 miles of the airport. Crown Aero suggested TKB Bakery & Deli and it was delicious. The menu varied from smashburgers to hot and cold sandwiches. You’ll also find a bakery case and café offering coffee and tea drinks and milkshakes. It does tend to get busy during lunchtime and many people order ahead of time for pickup. Parking is plentiful and the outdoor seating is great during the spring and late fall.

FBO
The FBO is located south of the approach end of RWY 28. The ramp is largely reserved for the bigger jets. Smaller GA will be placed east of the Crown Aero building and hangar. Tie down spots all have chains but its best to bring your own tie downs. The FBO is midcentury modern themed and tastefully done. You’ll find outdoor patio seating overlooking the ramp, a main lobby with seating, and two separate lounges for passengers and crew. Water, coffee and light snacks are available.
