We arrived on a Saturday. The airport was active, the tie down area for the FBO is well laid out with the front row for larger aircraft, singles and small twins in the rest. All but the last row simply pulls into a tiedown slot, no additional movement required. Overnight fee was reasonable for singles. Fuel price on the high side. FBO people met us at the plane with our rental car. They also allowed us on the ramp when we left. The ramp area was almost full on Saturday (2 places available). Then on Wednesday when we left there were only about 4 planes total on the ramp. Also, you can contact Knoxville Approach clearly while on the ground on frequency 132.8

I overall had a good experience. They came out and chained down my airplane, and refueled it with about $150 of gas. I paid for the fuel. No problem. When I returned to leave, I told the attendant that I needed to leave and get to my aircraft. He did not stand up, and asked if I needed a ride in the golf cart, I told him I could walk. The next morning, I was called and advised I owed $5 for the overnight tiedown. I don't mind the five dollars, but I think the guy could have gotten out of his chair and said something. I also question their use of time to call and get credit card info for a five-dollar charge.

Great hospitality, nice facility, and staff. Higher gas price but $10 per night fee was waived with fuel purchase down to $5 a night. As my plane was totally covered in thick frost they towed it up to the front of the ramp and gave me an extension cord to plug in my pre-heater. Looking forward to my next visit to GKT.

Came back 1 year later than my previous review and another great experience. No ramp fee for our Grumman Tiger, just a reasonable $ 5.00/night tiedown fee. Looking forward to coming back again.

Great FBO. Flew in to visit Smokey Mountain National Park for a week. FBO handled the Enterprise rental car, which was driven out to the plane as soon as Rick guided us in and had us parked. Plenty of tie downs on the huge ramp. Beautiful facility & great service from Rick & the crew.

Great service at Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge airport. We had a rental car reserved but we got there late because of weather. Great communication from Emily during the whole process. The line guy brought the rental car to the plane and had the plane mostly tied down before we got out of the plane.

Flew in 04-02-2020 out of coronavirus boredom. This FBO is another 'Taj Mahal'. Didn’t want to go into town just for take-out vittles, even though crew car was avail. Will return after all the madness ceases. FBO attendant very helpful and willing, but he can’t cure the countries ails. Great FBO, though.
