Flew in to drop off some parts. On the ground less than 30 minutes. They were fast to get my plane fueled and pleasant to do business with. Very nice FBO.

We are based in Southwest's community hangar. This service is top shelf for our little plane. In/out service is immediate, as is fueling. Line service friendly and helpful. Only complaint is the fuel price differential with surrounding airports is growing substantially. $1.30 to $1.80 /gal higher than surrounding airports (used to be 0.50 to 1.00).

EFD has become my stop in Houston. Service is always good, and everyone is very helpful. This is the way an FBO should be!

Southwest Services is very good. They do everything they can to help make the experience at Ellington delightful. EFD is close to Houston and it is very easy to access all the freeways and tollways. I have always used EFD when traveling to Houston. I will certainly continue to use Southwest Services and EFD in the future.

Stopped by for business and spent the night leaving the plane with this FBO. Great folks, had my oil changed by the nearby mechanics shop and saw a great looking restored Waco. The original exposed wood-framed wings were hanging in the shop. FBO pointed me towards Abe’s Cajun restaurant - Whoa! Great food. I was wondering about Houston, but think this stop and FBO were well worth the time.

Southwest is a great FBO. People are friendly and knowledgeable. We land here around 6 times a year and have always been treated well.

I just flew in this morning to use Medical facilities at MDACC at the Texas Medical Center complex and as usual they were right there with a new van for crew car and service for my Centurion. I have been coming here since they started accepting GA and they are the best in the Houston area for convenience to Downtown or the Medical Center. They have never disappointed me in probably 200+ trips in and out. My favorite FBO in the entire country and I fly around 400 hours a year so I see quite a few. They have put my airplane in hangar during bad weather without having to ask me. Great folks...

I flew in for an overnight last Tuesday. I had never been to Ellington Field and from the moment I taxied up to Southwest Airport Services I was impressed. Everyone at this FBO was friendly and professional. Jennifer even provided my wife with live directions over the phone to help her find the FBO as she was diving to Ellington Field to pick me up. This is a clean and first class facility. We will be back.

I love these folks! I flew to KEFD from KPSN to drop off my mom due to a canceled commercial flight. My 2 year old loved that we borrowed their crew car - a clean new minivan. When you think airport loaner you don't expect this! I have been using this FBO for 10 years and they just keep getting better and better. Few FBOs actually get it that it takes servicing all types of aviation to be successful. These professionals have their act together whether you are transient military, charter or private. Thank you for taking care of us once again!!!

Went into Southwest today in a B200 - GREAT SERVICE, only problem is that they aren't listed in Ac-U-Kwik and passengers went to the other FBO not knowing there are two. Outstanding facilities, great customer service culture...Thanks

Great turn in the middle of the night for our Global Express on a long range mission. Outstanding service, number one for take off and vectors on course which shaved about 10 minutes from our original flight plan. Very friendly people and truly concerned about our needs. I highly recommend Southwest Services at Ellington Field for all your flights in and out of the Houston area. Extremely well located for any meetings downtown, the medical center, the Galleria or the NASA facilities. Congratulations on a job well done, again!!!

Flew in for a brief weekend getaway & Space Center visit with my daughter, FANTASTIC experience & HIGHLY recommended!! Southwest was extremely helpful from the planning phase (Dana assisted a week in advance with rental car), arrival (no ramp fees, & tie-down waived 1 night with refuel), and service with a smile at their spacious and luxurious first-class facility!! Vectored around a few mins for some F-18's that we got to peek at on the ramp, by the helpful and patient controllers. Folks, this is THE place to go if you want to see the nearby Space Center!! Dinner at Mamacita's nearby, colorful and reminiscent of the Copacabana! Also a great stay at Hilton Clear Lake across the street (from the Space Center), beautiful view and breakfast in a huge bay window with the sun rising over the water was sweet. Wonderful trip will do again...Thanks Southwest, and all!!

Stopped in for a few days on the first of March. Reasonable fuel price for Houston, waived the first night tiedown with gas. NO RAMP FEE! Very friendly. Even though I am just a farm boy with my old john deer green Cessna they treated me like I was a jet. They parked me in front of the doors, loaned me a baggage cart helped me unload and load the plane. Charts and things are available for sale just off airport. The line people were very helpful and told me exactly where to find the store that is open until 6pm. I am so glad I went this place has much aviation stuff for sale. When I was leaving they towed my plane right up to the front door and helped me get ready. Thanks guys and gals! I really felt welcome. Will always make this my stop in the future when I visit Houston.
