  Great FBO very helpful. We talked to them on the radio after landing, picked up our luggage, very nice, Josh was his name I believe. Taxi driver was super nice, lots of good suggestions and sense of humor, only $ 10 to bright Angel Hotel. Nice hotel but we couldn't get a room overlooking the canyon. But that was ok. You just walk outside, what a site to see. Excellent food at the El Tovar (prime rib sandwich) and Bright Angel. Have fun.

  It seems to me with the incredible tourism value of the Grand Canyon and abundant real estate this airport has for parking that the GA experience could be vastly improved. Good ATC and the van shuttle from distant parking spots to the FBO are probably the only thumbs up I would give my experience flying into GCN. See my comments below. As a general feeling, I note that comments about many other airports with similar access to major tourism sites will start with "my incredible experience at xyz National Park, museum etc. Started with a stellar GA airport experience. If I were the owner of the FBO at GCN, I would start by asking what the experience at GCN should be to yield such comments from visitors.

  Came in to see the Canyon for a few hours with a PA44 and got great service from the line guy (at least the first one we talked too anyway) and fuel. Tickets for the bus into the park are $25 per airplane, and with no ramp fees, this place makes a nice day trip.

  It had been 10 years since I'd last flown into GCN. What surprised me most were the lack of traffic & the abundance of ramp space for this time of year. Tracy at Grand Canyon Airlines was most helpful by meeting us at our airplane with a van, making sure we knew where to catch the shuttle to the park, and how to get back on the ramp to our plane. Upon our return we were given a discount on fuel based on quantity. This FBO also offered a gift to the foreign exchange student we were hosting. Excellent western hospitality!

  Flew in 01Jun2011 for the day. Met by a van on row 10 and a nice line guy who helped tie the plane down and gave us a ride to the terminal. He asked if we needed fuel (no thanks) and said there would be a $10 ramp fee. We weren't spending the night and he said no it's not a State of AZ overnight fee it's a new ramp fee that his boss at the FBO has started doing. I pointed out the vast size and nearly empty ramp, we weren't parking anywhere near the FBO, the state owned airport, and we did not call for the van and were going to use the gate that was near row 10. And even when I have called for a ride in the past, it is unreliable. I just don't like having to pay for something that I didn't ask for. So if you get hit with this, make sure you're aware of all the facilities. Use the upstairs pilot lounge with clean restrooms, kitchen, computers, phones, comfy chairs, and no-hassle wifi. And BTW, if you have an annual pass, your whole party can ride the shuttle bus.

  Although the fuel was very expensive, the people were very friendly and helpful. We just took on enough to get on in to North Las Vegas where fuel was $1.60 cheaper. Overall it was a great stop and made some great memories with the kids!
 
From S Tracy on 28-Oct-2010

 
  The price of fuel was not as advertised. I paid $6.06/gal. The line guy was helpful. I would not stop here for fuel unless really pressed. Other options a lot cheaper. The reason I was given, "It's the Grand Canyon" does not justify the price.
 
From Brian Fry on 07-Sep-2010

 
  I arrived just after the FBO closed at 8pm last Thursday. The tower was helpful and gave me progressive taxi to the transient parking rows 10-12, a walk south of the terminal. There were no tie down ropes I saw but there are anchors to use. We found an exit with a button you can push to get out near the terminal but no way back in at night without climbing the fence. The free park shuttle ran until 9:30pm and we didn't need a park pass to ride it into Tusayan, but you do if you're going into the park. I called the FBO Sunday morning to ask about fuel and he offered to come pick us up in their van at the hotel in Tusayan and then gave us a ride right to our 182 and then got the fuel truck. They met us at our plane when we returned that afternoon, and we got the same great service the next day. Tie down fee was $5/day and it wasn't waived with fuel purchase, as it goes to the airport not the FBO. Watch for high winds, high-density altitude, and turbulence flying over the canyon.

  Very friendly folks, very accommodating, highly recommend a visit, very convenient, they will give you a ride to town if you can't catch the shuttle, free with park pass. Will, a fairly new employee, took extra time and showed us where to catch a bite and such. Nice touch!! Great line folks.. Even to an older C-172..
 
From Duffy Fainer on 24-Feb-2010

 
  Great service from the line staff who handled me immediately after rolling to the transient line. They shuttled me to a motel, offered to pick me up the next day, and were efficient and courteous the entire time. Thank you fellas.

  Very helpful controllers. Airstrip is a a little difficult to see as it is tucked in between trees. Service from FBO was exemplary. As soon as I shut down, a van pulled up to my aircraft and offered a ride into town. Tim is a true professional and is very knowledgeable of the area (He will tell you which are the tourist traps and which aren't). Many of the tie downs do not have chains so it is a good idea to bring your own set of tie downs as the area has a tendency to become gusty. Mostly fast food in Tusayan. Cabs and buses can be taken to the park and the FBO will gladly call you a cab or escort you into town. There is only a parking/transient fee if parking overnight. Thank you Tim for your wonderful service!

  Great service provided by the FBO. They sent a van to pick us up the moment I shut down the engine, helped with the bags, etc. The free shuttle to the Visiting Center has ended so they called a cab for us. The cab driver was wonderful, not only driving us to the Visiting Center safely, but explaining the history of the canyon along the way. It was $10 one-way plus the national park fees. Well worth it.
 
From Andreas Iwanowski on 06-Aug-2009

 
  Grand Canyon Airlines provided fine service to us on our two night stay on 08/01/2009. We got a free ride from the plane to the hotel with a short tour through town. Grand Canyon Airlines main business is charter/sightseeing, so they're not a full service FBO. If you keep that in mind, you will have a great stay with them. A NOTE about the airport though: The airport taped a parking bill to our right window for which they removed the aircraft cover. That was highly upsetting as they could have just stuck it to the door handle instead of tampering with someone else's plane. N17386.

  Flew in to get a backcountry permit 31May-01Jun 2009. FBO folks were great again as Larry describes below. Asked for a van on Unicom, showed up in a couple minutes, remember to tip if you think appropriate. All comments about charters being their priority still stand, so be patient waiting for fuel or a ride if they're busy, but they are all very nice folks. New thing as of 01Jun2009 is the State of AZ airport people will stick an envelope on your plane and charge $5/night single, $10/night multi. Can pay at the terminal, or there is an after hours drop box, or you can mail it in later. GCNP is running a Tusayan shuttle bus route (purple route) 16May-13Sep 2009, runs every 15 minutes 8am-9: 30pm, stops at the airport, must already have a park pass; can buy it at GC Airlines there at the airport. More info on shuttle buses on park website, and see the Tusayan Route Bulletin link that's on the shuttle bus page.
 
From Larry D'Addario on 19-Apr-2009

 
  Parked C-172 at KGCN from April 6-12 while backpacking in GCNP. Service by the FBO, Grand Canyon Airlines, was excellent. They were friendly and accommodating. They provide a free van to transport people & luggage from the transient ramp (otherwise a bit of a walk). For flight planning, there is a room with computers in the terminal next door (upstairs), but no printers. The FBO let me use his desk computer to print out a couple of pages. If you might be departing after hours, be sure to get gate code from FBO (or request it by telephone when they are open). The free park shuttle has not operated since last summer (they say it might operate later this season, depending on funding), but park concessionaire Xanterra provides 24/7 taxi service; its $10 for 1 or 2 people to most locations near south rim. Fuel is a bit pricey ($5.00 on 4/12), but parking fee is waived with any purchase -- a good deal if staying for more than a couple of days.
