Flew in to ISM in my 210 for a "Disney weekend" and used Kissimmee Jet Center. While facilities are not the newest, service was first class. Our rental car was next to the plane at shutdown and early morning departure before opening presented no problems. Fuel price for this area is hard to beat. I use Kissimmee Jet Center consistently four to five per year and have yet to be disappointed.

I have been a customer of Kissimmee Jet Center for the past 7 years visiting 3-4 times a year. After my visit this April, I am no longer a customer. KJC is under new management and changes have been made. The tie down fee structure has changed and it adversely impacts me. In the past I got a monthly tie down for a long-term stay. They no longer offer monthly tie down, only daily tie down. So I paid $150.00 for a 20-day stay and that included a $50.00 discount that they gave me. I even purchased fuel. This prompted me to look at other locations at the airport. What I found is that KJC has the worst terminal facilities, the worst ramp area and now one of the highest tie down fee. I found a location for my next visit where I can park for a month for half of what KJC charged me for 20 days. Apparently long-term customers are no longer important. I recommend that you call around, check prices and do the math. There are better bargains at KISM.

One of the lads met me on the ramp at dusk, led me to tie down, helped tie down, golf carted the luggage, (he got a tip and deserved it) booked a rental car, booked us a hotel. Helpful courteous staff even though it was late in the evening and the "girls" had gone home. I will return. The fuel was cheaper here out of the truck than some self serve stuff I had to buy due to headwinds a bit north of KISM. There was a parking discount based on fuel purchased, unfortunately due to headwinds I did not manage to fill up enough to have it all waived but it was discounted 33% for the 3 days. I am not sure if that was due to amount purchased or because I made a purchase at all. I only wish I could have purchased all my fuel here. They should be rewarded.

I called two weeks in advance of arrival and was told I would have a parking space on the tarmac reserved. I was also told that I wouldn't be charged for parking if I refueled. Upon arrival, I was told I wouldn't be parked on the tarmac, and upon departure, I was charged for parking because my 22-gallon fuel purchase (top-off) didn’t meet their 50-gallon minimum. The linemen and staff were very courteous and helpful, but the employees need to be better informed before talking to potential customers.

Very good service. Was there for a week. $10/night parking fee-5nights waived with the fuel I bought. Brought rental car to plane and help load. Quick and easy in/out. The only problem they over fueled the airplane. Wasn't but could have been a problem. I'd overall highly recommend for price and service.

What a great place!!!! The staff was so polite and helpful. Special thanks to Jane who got us a rental car (on Daytona 500 week) and a hotel room. Fuel prices were awesome. This is the FBO to use!!! Janey White, Illinois

I visited the Jet Center recently for a conference up near Disney. Two line guys met my plane as I taxied in and also drove the rental car up. When I left two days later, I accidentally left my cell phone at the FBO. By the time I had landed at my next destination, Jeanie at the FBO had found the found and made arrangements to ship it to me. The phone was back in my office on the next business day. These folks are great and have great fuel prices, so I commend them to everyone.

Went into Kissimmee Jet Center with our Citation 1SP 3 times this weekend for the first time. Was treated as family with great service. Our rental car experience was good also. Peter, BJ, Anthony, and Jeannee all made our experience even greater. I would say to Thomas Loumankin, owner of the Jet Center a heartfelt thank you his great contribution to corporate aviation by keeping your fuel prices at a reasonable price! While many FBO's are seemingly out to keep prices to the limit, not understanding that their price gougeing is actually causing people not to fly. Again, Mr. Loumankin, many thanks, and we'll be back! Tommy Shelton, N20CZ.

Arrived at Kissimmee Jet Center and was met by line crew who marshaled me to parking while another crewmember drove the rental car to the airplane. They directed my wife to the office while I unloaded the plane. By the time I got to the office, all of the paper work was completed and we were ready to go. This is a great FBO. It's what all-general aviation FBO'S should be like. Overnight parking was one dollar less than parking at Disney World.

Flew to Kissimmee Gateway Dec 09, Line crew waiting with Rental Car, rented full size, when it wouldn't hold 4 adult's and a 2 1/2 year & plane load luggage, he gave us minivan same price. Gas priced over dollar gallon cheaper than highest on field and rental car was $10 day cheaper as well. Building not as nice as Signature but Service was 2nd to none, I will use Kissimmee Jet Service, my next trip to ISM.

Flew to Orlando for a conference. My email inquiry to the FBO asked me to call to make a reservation; I did and when I arrived they were expecting me. I mentioned I'd need a taxi and before I even had my bags out of the plane, the taxi was on its way. Very friendly service but low-key. If you want glamor and glitz, pick another place.

My friend, "Captain Bob", flew in for the MU2 SIMCOM training. I called KAS to set up car rental and advise his arrival and departure times. When asked about how KAS treated him, Captain Bob replied, "very good." He found the staff to be friendly and receptive and his MU2 was well taking care of. However, there was one little glitch. In his excitement to return home, he accidentally left his training manual and jacket in the back of the rental car. I made one call to KAS and spoke with Jeannie to request his items be shipped to his business. She had FedEx pick them up and a package arrived shortly thereafter with all the contents the Captain left behind. When asked what the charge was, Jeannie said there was none. Flying an MU2 is like going first class, and the treatment Captain Bob received from KAS was first class. A big thanks to all!

Had a 2-night stay and they fueled my 172 as requested. Line guy was very helpful with luggage and calling a taxi. He showed me where to park my plane and it was in the same place when I returned. Good fuel prices too. Also friendly ATC in the tower.

Great FBO. Pete took great care of us on our visit to Disneyworld 7/21/07. Things were busy upon our arrival but he took care to let us know that we were next ASAP. He helped us get a room; we were one day early for our reservations at another motel. The car was ready and waiting plus direction to the motel and something to eat. We returned later for fueling and, again, met our many needs for the fuel. Great place to park for your Disneyworld stay by plane.

What a great FBO. Incredible Avgas price and very reasonable tie down for a week. Pete was great at taking care of the plane and pulled Enterprise rental car right to the plane. Only 2 blocks from Rt. 192. Will be back next time in Orlando.

Went to KISM to see Disney World and Sun N Fun. Due to severe weather, instead of arriving at 7 PM, we didn't get in until 10:45 on a Saturday night. We tried calling ahead, but we had no cell phone or satellite phone service. We were doomed! We taxied to the ramp. Much to our surprise, the lineman was waiting for us! He directed us to parking, and brought our rental car to the plane. Although this is not the most elegant FBO I've ever been in, there's a reason that they are the oldest on the field. Great fuel prices and GREAT service. Thank you once again!!

Chose Kissimmee based on their fuel costs and I could not be more pleased with their service. The lineman directed our plane to parking. The rental car was at the plane in 5mins and we were on our way to Disney in 15mins. Plus I saved $135 on fuel, rental car and parking (5 days) vs. the other guys. Kissimmee Aviation will be my destination next trip. Great service and great prices! Thanks again.

I travel to Orlando on a regular basis. I have tried most all FBO's in the area. I originally went to Kissimmee Jet Center for the fuel prices. I stayed because of the friendly service. It is everything I need to make my business trips complete. The rental car is always waiting, clean and ready to go. My aircraft is always fueled and ready to go when I return. Everyone at Kissimmee Jet has always gone that extra mile to make sure his or her job is done.

I arrived around 12:30pm, I am 18 years old so I am unable to rent a car, they called the company and got me a car for the afternoon, easy to park, fuel was topped off just as asked, I will use this place again....... Only bad part no crew cars!

Very nice people. Good fuel prices (compared to the rest of the field). But I agree with the guy that says it is outdated and that the service is lacking. But... As a non-corporate guy, I.E. Paying my own way, I prefer less $ to more glitter.

Best fuel price and service! The rental car was at the plane before I could get out of the plane. Fence code was given to me at counter. Keep up the good work. Will make this my number one stop in the king air. DELORIS AND BILLIE WERE GREAT!! CAP'T RUSSELL

All the good things about this FBO I feel bad saying this but it needs to be said. Yesterday was the 2nd time I flew my boss down in our company KingAir200. I made the rental reservations 3 days in advance. And as usual the cars were NOT there when we arrived. We even arrived 2 hours late and they still didn’t get them there. They marshaled us past the FBO and parked us way down the line. I had to beg for some help with their luggage and ended up carrying all of it inside (about a 100 ft walk) myself. The FBO is so outdated and reminds me of an old military barracks full of mold. We are going back down tomorrow and will defiantly go to Marathon Aviation. They might have the cheapest fuel but they do not have adequate corporate facilities. I’m sure its a great FBO for the small owner operator but don't take your boss here. HE WONT BE IMPRESSED with a full service like Marathon right across the ramp looking at you.

Great people!!!!! Great fuel prices!! Line service parked us and had the rental car pulled up to the aircraft even before the passengers were off of the plane. Dolores had hotel rooms for the flight crew. Facilities are a little spartan but not a problem. Line service started fueling the aircraft within 5 minutes of giving them the fuel order. I will return!! Thanks for the hospitality.

Flew in on New Years Eve. I called ahead to give my ETA and verify my rental car was there. I landed and no one was there to show me where to park so I taxi to their tie down ramp (there was room for about 20 planes and there was only 5 on the ramp). I went into the FBO and there were several pilots in there waiting, they said they had not seen anyone in 30 minutes. When I went outside the employee told me I would have to move my plane to the back of the line, the side I was on was for jets only (I was in a C310 was next to a PA46 and C421). I ordered fuel and told them I would return at 6pm the next day, he told me I could pay for fuel then. When I returned the next day at 5:30, the place was closed and locked up. My wife and kids had to climb over their 6-foot fence and throw our bags over. After this I'll pay more for fuel at another FBO.

Excellent line service -- tracked my flight online and met me with a parking space and rental car as I entered the ramp. Maintenance solved a minor problem easily. Extremely competitive fuel price and the FBO building has bathroom and flight planning computer facilities. What more can you ask for? Highly recommended as a destination for Orlando/Disney area GA travelers.

First time going to KISM and found Kissimmee Aviation on this site. I would highly recommend them. They were courteous and prompt. They had my rental car to me before I had the engines stopped. A+

I frequently fly into Orlando and have used all the FBO's, but I cannot find better service or friendlier people than at Kissimmee Aviation! The FBO would certainly be described as spartan, but adequate and clean. Great fuel prices for the area, and truly the best Airport to visit the Disney complex. It is more of a down home Ma and Pa experience, than that of the usual corporate hussle and bussle.

We arrived at Kissimmee for NBAA and with a dead vacuum pump. Although they were extremely busy they were able to replace it and have us on our way on schedule. The entire staff was extremely helpful. Good fuel prices. Thank you to everyone at Kissimmee Jet!

Great FBO. Went in last weekend and had a flat tire on Rwy 24. They were the closest so staggered over there. Monday AM Bernie, mechanic, pilot and aircraft owner, installed new tube. Very fair price. And did it. Thanks Bernie.

Stayed with Kissimmee Aviation Services for 5 days early May while attending Orlando Convention. Dominique assisted with parking and 'anything else' we might need. Very hospitable, great service, best avgas/parking rates in Florida!! During pre-flight, discovered I lost airplane key...Thanks guys for your key, which opened my Seneca. We will definitely be back to Kissimmee Aviation Services, where they know what service is.

Left my Piper Seneca (TG-TAI) with Kissimmee Aviation for a week over Easter (right after Sun 'n' Fun), and was 100% delighted with the experience. The facility is fairly small and could use a touch-up, but it was clean and organized and professional. The entire staff, including Dolores at the front desk and all the line crew, knew their jobs well, did everything right, and were wonderfully nice as well. We showed up four hours early, and still they had my rental car pulled up to the plane before I could get out. Refueling and billing were equally accurate and professional, and all the prices ($8/night parking for a twin, $3.35/gallon for 100LL avgas) were the best I could find even after extensive comparison shopping. Will not hesitate to go back to KISM when I need to visit the Orlando area.

4/5-4/9/06 Friendly, prompt service. Rental car provided as requested at plane. Fueled as requested but for some reason 12-15 gal short of full topoff (charge was accurate). Had to park in grass due to Sun 'n Fun traffic. The facility is a little run-down but very adequate and fuel at $3.55 cheapest around.

Flew my TBM 700 in to Kissimmee Av' Services for Sun N Fun and they treated me like gold. The lineman was ready with parking and they had my rental car pulled up before I could even unload my bags. The facility isn't new, but everyone was helpful, polite, and friendly. Highly recommended...A+.

Simple place, the sort of place a general aviation pilot feels at home. Rental car was right there as requested, directions well given, tie down no worries. Delores in the office, also a flyer and understands "us".

BEST fuel price on the field. Very friendly FBO! Went out of their way to be helpful, it may not look the best, but service was the best! Be sure to call ahead if you plan to tie-down and they can get you a rental car too. Rental car price was also the best price on the field.

These guys are great! We stopped in as a result of a weather delay and the folks at ISM arranged the hotel and van for our party of seven. The fuel prices are pretty good for Florida and that helps when feeding a C421. Next time in Florida we'll stop back in.

I visited Kissimmee Aviation on 9-9-05 and stayed for three days. First of all fuel prices were good but that is all I can say for these guys. They told me that they could shuttle my family to Disney if they had people to cover so they told what time to be there to do so but they did not tell me that someone would be on vacation and would not be able to. Second I ask them to make sure my tanks be topped off on Monday, the day I was leaving, and of course they were not. If you are looking for a back woods hick FBO then these guys are for you.

Chose them for gas price and previous comments. Totally true and fine for most GA. -- Very welcoming airport controllers besides; had to wonder if they got a $ for every 'welcome to ISM' from Disney folks.
