Stopped here for a week in January while weather prevented my departure, and the service was just what I needed! They had very affordable hangar space for overnight stay and worked with me as I wasn’t sure when I would be able to leave.

I have only posted 2 comments on AirNav since its inception but I felt that I needed to comment on this airport. In almost 30 years of flying I have never had service this good. They went aboove and beyond what normal airports do. The fuel was as advertised and there was no ramp fee...which is getting more and more common. We arrived back to the airport at 10:30 p.m. and the temperatures had fallen way below freezing and my Bonanza was an icicle. They towed my plane in the heated hangar to thaw it out and then wiped the water off it wouldn't refreeze! If ever in the neighborhood I will definitely be back. Thanks y'all !!!

I'm prejudiced. I've been based here for ten years. I love this airport and enjoy the facility greatly. I love seeing the great service transient pilots receive. We have great management and service personnel. Stop in. You won't regret it.

Stopped there for fuel and a quick turnaround and got exactly that. Wonderful people - quick turnaround - nice field in a beautiful area. Really sorry we didn't have more time to explore the area. We'll be back

(2012-03-27) Runway and facilities are in excellent condition. Staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. Terminal is small, but lovely with rocking chairs in front of the big window facing the runway so one can watch the traffic come and go. Fuel prices are excellent (these days) and Knoxville approach could not have been friendlier. Highly recommend Calhoun's on the River for food. Best Potato Skins ever.

Stopped in on a ferry flight from Maine to Texas in a 170. Airport facilities were excellent and the stop was a quick turnaround. FBO was nice and the people were friendly. Knoxville approach was also very easy to work with. Nice airport and I will stop here again if in the area.

Excellent! This gem of an uncontrolled public airport is nestled in the hills and trees alongside the TN River. Downtown Knoxville is very close by and visible from the runway. The FBO staff is very friendly and helpful and the SS fuel prices are the lowest in TN. Overnight tie down is free with a fuel purchase. Highly recommended!

If Hertz is closed when you arrive and/or depart, beware!! My car was NOT delivered prior to arrival (as Brad at Hertz had promised) and I was charged more than the online reservation originally quoted. On the other hand, FBO staff is very friendly and courteous.

Flew in for a HDB (Hundred Dollar Burger) and got the free courtesy car (for up to two hours); drove to the other side of the river to Calhoun’s on the River. Wonderful place to eat! Very nice place - the airport, the city and the restaurant.

Great airport, stopped here because of proximity to where we were staying. Airport employees were very helpful. I booked an Avis car through AirNav's link and found that, in hindsight, to be a mistake. My car was not at the airport upon arrival. The airport indicated they did not have good luck with Avis and typically recommend Hertz or Enterprise. The airport went above and beyond to help me get through to Avis to figure out what to do. They also offered to contact Enterprise late on a Friday to work out an alternative. After multiple calls, Avis agreed to pay for a taxi over to the commercial airport. A fellow pilot instead took my family over there, but it took longer to sort out than did my flight from STL to DKX. As consolation, Avis did upgrade my car for the trouble.

Corporate piston pilot. I have been in to DKX several times for business trips. Service is good and the facilities are great, not to mention the great scenery on the visual approach. If you will be arriving/departing after hours, be sure to get the gate code from the FBO, as the gate to the island is closed.

Arrived Thursday afternoon 04/14/2011 as a planned fuel stop which turned out to be an overnight stay. When we went into the FBO Gloria met us, we explained our problem she was on the phone calling hotel's for us arranged for a shelter for our plane, once the plane was secured for our stay the cab that Gloria had called for us was waiting to take us to downtown. We left Sunday morning however our departure was held up almost 2 hours due to fog, Gloria was to the rescue once again she provided fresh coffee & muffins. Overall our stop at KDKX was a great experience I would recommend this airport to anyone.

Flew into Downtown Island to watch a University of Tennessee baseball game. Gloria offered the "as new" van for a couple of hours. Beautiful & inviting lobby with cookies & HDTV. Scenic airport & short distance to downtown Knoxville. Great Sunday afternoon.

I regularly fly into DKX with students to meet pilot examiner Jerry Rasmussen for checkrides. This is a beautiful airport with friendly staff, nice facilities, and inexpensive self serve fuel. Very convenient to downtown and home to Remote Area Medical's DC-3. Great airport all around.

Flew in on 9/12 for a short stay with a student. While waiting on a passenger my cell phone became dislodged in the very comfy couch and did not make it back home in the aircraft. Everyone at DKX was extremely helpful and Dustin made sure that it returned back to me promptly. I will definitely be back. Thanks again.

Great experience with FBO and the crew. Landed here for a Pilot and Paws event, and the folks were generous with their prices and to accommodate all our aircraft - even on a game day.
