We had a wonderful time upon landing at Bar Harbor. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Thanks for all the local information, we will return. Our friends, first time GA trip can't believe the difference between GA and commercial. Best Wishes - 742SR

2-day visit here, Aug 2008. I had phoned beforehand to arrange for overnight tiedown. On taxi into the ramp, I was directed to parking. Fuel truck was prompt, and Chris helped with baggage, then gave ride to pax in cart to FBO lobby. He came back to fuel, then arranged for tug to position my plane and tie it down. Fuel price is high, but ramp fee is waived with minimum purchase. All phases of this experience were positive. They treated my Seneca the same as the bizjets. Lobby is a bit small, as are the restrooms, but all are clean and well-kept. Friendly, competent, and prompt service! I recommend advising them in advance if you are overnight, or need tiedown. Looks like this ramp can get busy and crowded during beautiful summer weekends!

Flew in on Saturday to visit family. Line crew met us in their new golf cart and transported us and the luggage to the FBO. Friendly help at the front desk. Next day our early departure was no problem. Plane was fueled and our bill was prepared and waiting for us. Excellent FBO and we will be back.

Most of the crowds are gone and the leaves are beginning to turn orange. But, the place is pleasant and the linemen are excellent. Everything was ship shape but the bathroom is very small and not too private.

Flew in my C182 over Labor Day weekend -- busy, ramp bustling with jets, but we were handled in the most professional, courteous, and friendly way. Columbia truly excelled, however, when I found a big oil leak under the airplane five days later. Even though the shop was quite busy, they gave me priority and diagnosed the problem quickly (and correctly!) -- airplane grounded. Once the problem was fixed, Columbia even ferried the airplane from Bar Harbor to Groton, Connecticut (their main base) FOR FREE to facilitate pick up (my home base is NJ). Cleaning up the oily belly and nose wheel pant was part of the service. They really went out of their way to help and I was truly impressed. Down East Maine hospitality in aviation.

Although I've been a regular visitor to Mt. Desert since I was a kid, I've only been flying my own airplane there for a couple of years. The personalized service this FBO provides contributes to my desire to keep coming back for a lifetime. Always friendly and welcoming, they treat me and my Piper Arrow just like the myriad of Gulfstreams through which I thread on my way to my tiedown. I appreciate it very much, and can't wait 'til next summer. Thanks!

Great service and friendly staff, Jessica and Shannon are most helpful! The amount of aircraft they support is amazing for a small FBO. They REALLY could use a GPU though, not having an APU in a jet that depends so much on battery power...Please get a GPU.

The staff at this FBO went out of their way to help us when we arrived on June 21 on our way to Canada. We didn't have a room and weren't sure where to stay. They made some good suggestions and found us a taxi to take us to downtown Bar Harbor. They fueled us and helped us tie down and even carried our bags to the other terminal so that we could get the cab. It's a nice place to stop if you are in the northeast or headed to Canada.

Flew our Grumman Tiger into BHB on June 29, 2007 for a 4 night visit to Bar Harbor. The lineman greeted us promptly, led us to a tie down spot, loaded our luggage on the cart, and drove us to pick up our rental car in the terminal. Nice flight planning room with weather computer. When we went to leave, the lineman loaded our luggage and brought it to the plane. A nice facility with great service.

Flew in on a busy Memorial Day weekend and were treated like royalty even though we were in an SR20. The ladies at the desk (don't remember who was there) were a hoot and helped set up a rental car at a local car dealership and provided suggestions for excellent lodging. Overall, it was a great experience!

Just got back from a routine flight that turned into a small adventure due to my plane not wanting to restart. Cindy 1 and Cindy 2 at Columbia were supremely helpful in arranging transportation to make the adventure a little less painful. Andy the lineman was great in helping me get the plane restarted. This is a caring and professional FBO!

9/16/2006 - Lots of expensive, private jets around but the people at Columbia treated my little RV-6 and me very well. Only a $4 ramp fee for my overnight stay. There is a FREE shuttle that goes all the way to the village square in Bar Harbor, courtesy of LL Bean. If you want to explore Acadia National Park, I recommend staying at one of the many places near the free shuttle hub in Bar Harbor.

The entire staff made us feel welcome. The front desk personnel, the line crew and the maintenance personnel treated us with the utmost courtesy and in a friendly manner. Service was top-notch. A vacuum pump replacement was done quickly, was done well and at a fair price. Fuel prices were very reasonable considering it is a resort destination. The airport also sits in a beautiful location. I give this FBO an A+.

Flew in on Columbus Day in our Bonanza. Found Columbia to be extremely friendly and helpful. Jets were all over the place, coming and going, but even with them being that busy, the service that I received was terrific. They even had a courtesy car available for me (on a holiday, no less). When I returned to the airport, my plane was fueled and ready to go. Will definitely be back.

I flew in last weekend in a 421. Ramp fee for two nights was only $12. Service was friendly and fuel reasonable. Us piston guys get a little less attention when the ramp is swarming with Jets, but I prefer this to more staff and higher fees. Great place to visit. I could not get a response on 129.75 - and I like to avoid using Unicom since there can be so much traffic in the pattern.

Friendly, very helpful, and fair prices. Very good experience overall. Airport is small, so everything is close by and convenient.
