About Zanesville Aviation
Zanesville Aviation is an independent FBO at Zanesville Municipal Airport in southeastern Ohio that takes a refreshingly simple approach to pricing: zero fees. There are no service fees, ramp fees, tie-down fees, handling fees, or landing fees. You pay for fuel and that is it.
The terminal building offers a comfortable waiting area with couches, chairs, and tables, along with courtesy snacks and beverages at no charge. A pilot lounge provides a quiet space for crew, and a conference room is available for passengers who need to take a meeting between flights. Wi-Fi is complimentary throughout the facility. Courtesy cars are available with a two-hour limit, and rental cars can be arranged in compact and sedan sizes for longer ground stays.
Full-service fuel is available on the field, and emergency minor maintenance can be handled during business hours, which run 7am to 7pm Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm Saturday, and 10am to 6pm Sunday. After-hours service is available by arrangement for operators who need late or early departures.
Hangar space is offered for both overnight and longer-term storage, protecting aircraft from the variable Ohio weather. The facility sits at 850 Airport Road in Zanesville, a small city along Interstate 70 about 55 miles east of Columbus.
For charter passengers, Zanesville Aviation delivers a no-frills but genuinely welcoming experience. The staff is attentive without being overbearing, the terminal is clean and well maintained, and the lack of nickel-and-dime fees makes it a favorite among operators. The surrounding area provides access to the Muskingum River, Wayne National Forest, and several historic sites in Ohio's Appalachian foothills.
