Service above and beyond! I had called ahead, but then departure was delayed. Twice. Arrived about 20mins past ETA, but Benny was right there to hook us up with a courtesy car! Many other airports could take a lesson from these folks. If you are ever in SW Oklahoma, be sure to stop and visit the crew at AXS. Ps. Also, be sure to eat at FAT DADDY'S restaurant, which is just a couple miles South.

Don't expect too see much at this airport. Altus is literally out in the middle of nowhere. I agree with all of the below comments. Super clean facilities, great line and desk guys, and the lowest fuel prices I've seen in a long time. 2 courtesy cars available to make a quick run into town. Will probably never come here again but if ever in the neighborhood I will definitely stop by!

These guys are great. Flew in to see the in-laws for the weekend. It started to sprinkle in the evening and when I went out to check on the plane it was tucked in nice and cozy in the hangar. Got there the next morning and was all full of fuel and ready to go. Great Staff

Great experience. Quick, helpful and professional staff. Make sure to get a hotel reservation early if you can as well as a trip to Meers Restaurant for an amazing burger.

Great Service but I have come to expect just that from this FBO. They take great care of you and your bird and can make a very quick turn if you want. I ferry aircraft for a living and this is a must stop on my way across the country. They don't advertise it but there is a well groomed grass strip right next to RWY 17 and sure saves those big tundra’s I ferry a lot. When I stay over night they are more than willing to set me up with a hotel or make phone calls for me, before I arrive, if I call and ask. Doesn’t get much better. Thanks for the help on 20/21 SEPT.

We came up on Aug 4th to see our son in the Air Force. We were met on the ramp and taken very good care of by the people here. We were tied down and then fueled and ready for when we left. The staff was great.

Landed at KAXS June 29, 2012 for a weekend stay at the Quartz Mountain Resort. The FBO was very helpful with our car rental, recommended a couple of restaurants in town and provided hangar service for our three airplanes. Highly recommended.

Flew in for the weekend with two other aircraft was given airport advisory by FBO staff prior to landing. Once on the ground was marshalled to parking where our car was waiting. Due to 100 plus temps, aircraft were placed in the hangar at a more than fair price. Very clean FBO and a great staff.

Outstanding service! Landed at Altus for an overnight stay, I was given a free car for the night and was told the Best Western had an airport rate. At the Best Western my room went from $89 to $49 when I told them I was from the airport. The FBO recommended the Back Door Steak House 10 miles north in Blair. Dinner was just $29 and the steak was better than I've had at Ruth's Chris for $100 a person. My plane was out of the hangar (didn't request a hangar) and serviced when I arrived the next morning. Service couldn't have been better and fuel was below market!

One of the best General Aviation airports anywhere! The facilities and friendly staff cannot be topped anywhere, period. Full service fuel at self-serve prices from 7 a.M. To 9 p.M. And after hours call-outs are free. All new General Aviation terminal and ample overnight hangar space. You will be met at your aircraft by the service oriented staff when you arrive and they bend over backwards to insure a first class experience. I can't say enough about the overall great experience, I don't think I have ever been treated so well at any other FBO.

All I can say is WOW! I just purchased my first plane and was bringing it home to Southeast Missouri from Lubbock. Vacuum pump failed and I hit weather and ended up in Altus. Boy was I lucky! I got to see first hand what a brand new FBO looks like and how it can be utilized to the fullest. Red River Aviation went out of their way to make sure the part was ordered for next day delivery (it was late in the day) and Greg and his wonderful crew took care of the rest. Set me up with their Corp rate at the local Motel and gave me a courtesy car overnight. I ended up stranded there by weather for 3 days all the while having a car and my plane hangared! The staff was more than friendly and offered local suggestions to keep me fed while I was a temporary resident. I just can't say enough about this facility and it makes me extremely proud to be a member of the aviation Community!

Found myself in a bad weather situation recently. Fortunately the place I found to land was Altus. Beautiful new facility and the service was outstanding. Made arrangements for an overnight stay, let me use a courtesy car, and made a difficult situation into a nice stay. On top of that, GOOD fuel price. These people showed a SERVICE attitude that I rarely see these days. Thanks guys.

We stopped at KAXS for a quick turn and had a wonderful experience. The place was extremely clean and well appointed. Mr. Camp and his crew made us feel at home even allowing us to use his office to eat our wonderful catering they arranged for us. They also provided us with a generous fuel discount and our passengers with souvenirs. Great Job!!

I am always looking for good fuel stops in the middle of the country. I had the opportunity to stop at Altus/QM. All I can say is wow! Great fuel prices and great line service. They have a new FBO with some nice refreshments. Greg Camp, the airport director, really loves GA and is proactive in making his airport a great place. Enjoy the many airplane models that Greg has on display throughout the FBO. Don't worry about nearby Altus AFB, the controllers there are very friendly, and will ensure that you are separated from the Big Iron. My new favorite fuel stop. Thanks guys.

WOW incredible, amazing wonderful I could go on! The service here is great! I stayed here for a month while in AF training and they always did a great job! Thanks again Paul, Tracy, Benny, Daniel and Gregg while I don't want to return to Altus, if I do I know the place to go! Happy flying!

This is a modern, well maintained airport with top-notch facilities. Wife and I are musicians. On Valentines Day, we were to pay a surprise visit and play a few songs for the fiancé of a young pilot buddy who is away in boot camp. While in the pattern, FBO called with their location on the field. A very courteous lineman got us parked and pointed out their courtesy van waiting (not a worn out police car, but a clean, late-model Dodge Caravan). We loaded Jill's harp and my fiddle into the van and were able to surprise the bride-to-be before she left work for the day. Couldn't have made it without the seamless reception by the FBO. Ps. Try not to be distracted by the "free airshow" at the AFB 3 miles away. C17s, KC135s, oh my!

Stop there today on my way back from Denver. Nice people, good fuel prices and full service. We used airport van (very nice) to go 2 miles down the road to Applebee’s. They contacted me on Unicom, as I was 5 miles out to see what services I would be needing. I highly recommend Altus (KAXS) for a stop. BTW, they have the largest hangar I have been inside in over a year. Crazy big.

We stopped at Altus Airport Wednesday, October 27, 2010. This was an extremely pleasant experience. After landing we were greeted by a courteous, extremely helpful lineman named Benny. He helped tie down our Super Cub and asked what else he could help us with. We told him we needed a cab into town. He said, "Excuse me for a minute while I make a phone call." When he returned he said, "I talked to my boss and we'd like for you to take the airport van for tonight." We were pleasantly surprised. The hospitality didn't end there. The next morning when we came back in we were greeted by the airport manager, Greg Camp. He asked if there was anything we needed before departure. The fuel prices were fair, also. The airport personnel are an asset to Altus. If you are ever in this area stop by. A new terminal is being built, too. We will definitely return!!!
