From Eric Parks on 17-Jun-2013

 
  Chrissy and the line guys did an outstanding job once again. I have been here as a military pilot and recreationally and each time service has been outstanding. For a good meal ask for the crew car and go to Lulu's (Jimmy Buffet's sister's restaurant). It is about 2 miles away and has a great atmosphere and great food.
 
From Paul Dixon on 26-Apr-2013

 
  Nice,sClean FBO with a good southern hospitality... The ladies that work there are not hard on the eyes... Thank you
 
From Mike Hodgson on 25-Apr-2013

 
  Very nice, clean and friendly FBO. Very professional and comfortable. Very fast service.
 
From Rock Palermo on 30-Mar-2013

 
  Today we flew an Eclipse into JKA and were met by three linemen - maybe it was two, but they were as quick as three. Called ahead on the AIRINC and they had the rental car pulled up before we opened the door. The service was extremely fast both on the ramp and inside their fine facility. Great job!
 
From George Kretschmann, 7032Y on 10-Mar-2013

 
  My wife and I use JKA as a weekend getaway. It's about an hour flight from my home base. As usual, the service this weekend was 120%. The linemen are always waiting for me to pull up, they chock the plane, they have the rental car out to the plane wanting to help unload the luggage, fuel the plane and take care of all the needs one has when arriving. The staff inside the terminal are very helpful and great to work with. My wife rented a car through Hertz and it smelled like cigarette smoke. One of the girls at the desk got on the phone with them and had a replacement in just a few minutes. Thanks!
 
From Daniel A. Oppenheim on 04-Mar-2013

 
  We flew in on March 3, 2012 as part of a flight of three aircraft, 10 adults total, all going to Lulu's for lunch. The line service was terrific and Gulf Air offered to take us and pick us up as a group on their party bus. The manager who drove us to the restaurant refused a tip! We've been to numerous FBO's around the country and Gulf Air always ranks at the top of our list.
 
From George Kretschmann on 24-Dec-2012

 
  We love flying into this airport! EVERYBODY on the staff, including the linemen, is super friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent and the atmosphere is very relaxing. The first time we flew in we had engine trouble when we tried to take off again. It was late in the evening and the mechanic was already home. They offered to call him and said that he wouldn't mind coming back at all. But the pilot who owns Lucky Dog Aviation, Rod Kellogg, came out and helped get the engine going again and we took off. He even radioed us to make sure everything was okay after we took off. Those kind of services make us want to go back. Thanks for the professional courtesy!
 
From Spencer Rhodes on 02-Dec-2012

 
  Fly into Gulf Air Center almost weekly. Friendly Staff, Great FBO Manager.
 
From J Davis on 23-Nov-2012

 
  Hats off to the friendly staff at Gulf Air Center. Customer service was excellent. Everyone was very helpful. Always a great stop!
 
From K Viise on 19-Nov-2012

 
  Great FBO. Line crew had the aircraft tied down, the fuel truck in front of the plane, and a golf cart ready for us to use to get our gear off the line before we even finished unloading our little 172. Nothing like kicking back a little in Jack's Aces before heading out again. Definitely will be back.
 
From Sy Pinkert on 14-Oct-2012

 
  I stop in here frequently and buy fuel whenever I can. Awesome FBO, pilot’s hangout area, and staff. The line personnel are always outside waiting for you to roll up, and the counter staff is always friendly. Prices are low for the area and there are no ramp fees. Stop here and hang out for a bit!
 
From Marty Vanover Phoenix, AZ on 08-Oct-2012

 
  Flew in with friends and they met me at the airplane. One airplane had an alternator problem and they towed it in the hangar and let me change it out for my buddy (I'm an A&P). Even borrowed a multimeter for me to troubleshoot the problem. Pat is top drawer and this is a clean and efficient operation with friendly staff. Good facilities and plenty of free drinks. There are even free lunches across the way. Unheard of!
 
From Gary Mascelli, N6708R on 06-Oct-2012

 
  We flew in to attend the Beech Aero Club Fest. Great service, friendly, helpful and took care of our Baby Beech. When we left I drove out to the plane to store our bags, I forgot two shopping bags in the back seat of the rental. My Bride asked about the bags at our second stop 6 hours north. I made a call, the folks at Gulf air checked the rental and shipped our packages home FedEx. THANKS!! You saved me!
 
From Gary Embrey on 03-Oct-2012

 
  Is there a rating that goes beyond Excellent? If you want know how an FBO should treat private pilots, you need to stop at Jack Edwards and visit Gulf Air. I have to call out Shawanda Henderson, their Customer Service Manager. She is the best! I'm already looking for an excuse to visit again. Thanks for taking such great care of me and my fellow Baby Beech pilots.
 
From David Singleton on 29-Sep-2012

 
  We attended the Beech Aero Club Fest 2012 last weekend and Gulf Air Center was our host FBO. We were extremely pleased with every phase of their operation. Everyone was courteous, efficient, and wanted to ensure our stay was the best experience possible. Per their mission statement, they truly are ambassadors for not only the airport, but also the entire region of Gulf Shores. I would like to especially recognize Customer Service Manager Shawda, Customer Service Rep Lindsey, and General Manager Pat for their outstanding service and commitment to general aviation.
 
From Christopher Hester on 10-Sep-2012

 
  I flew our Cheyenne III in to JKA about 10 min before the published closing time and parked across the ramp @ Coastal Aircraft Services for scheduled maintenance. Roman (sorry if misspelled) had a line service guy in a golf cart waiting to take me to the FBO where my discounted hotel info was waiting along with my rental car, which was pulled up under the awning. I always get this kind of service @ GAC. All other FBOs should send their personnel here for training. Awesome!
 
From Eric Ibscher on 25-Aug-2012

 
  Best FBO in the country! They really take care of you here.
 
From John Dorsett on 09-Aug-2012

 
  Great service free food kool shirts will be back
 
From Jeff Jones on 08-Aug-2012

 
  I have been using Gulf Air for many years on my beach visits. Flew in Sun, 7/29 and departed Sun, 8/5 in an F33A Bonanza. Excellent facility, exceptionally helpful front desk and management. I had one small issue with line service and hangar, but the front desk staff and management fully addressed my concern and I appreciated their responsiveness. Additionally, we left an item in the Hertz rental car -- Hertz was not helpful, but the staff at Gulf Air sent an overnight FedEx package (at my expense, as I requested) to my home in the Dallas area. They really went above and beyond the call of duty with a fresh, positive, and helpful attitude. I will definitely be back, and look forward to my return.
 
From Warren Adam on 16-Jul-2012

 
  I fly from KJKA often. My experience with Gulf Air has always been positive from start to finish. Line, front desk, and office personnel are invariably friendly, efficient, and courteous. Makes flying fun!!!
 
From Scott Lindsly on 09-Jul-2012

 
  Enroute from KDTS to back home, we couldn't help but stop in at our favorite $100-hamburger and GAC took excellent care of us as always! Due to short hops in our little C152 we couldn't take but a few gals fuel, but they treated us as if we were taking a hundred & loaned us the sporty red Mustang that my lil girl loves, helped us get to/from LuLu's quickly. Always such a pleasure to see you folks, y'all always make us feel at home :) :)
 
From Chip Gibbons on 09-Jul-2012

 
  Good service, friendly folks. Unique pilot lounge with free snacks and drinks. Recommended stop.
 
From Phillip Miller on 20-Jun-2012

 
  First time to this FBO and it was great. Flew in from Milton (only about 50 mi) so didn't need any gas or service. The young ladies didn't have any issues with us taking the crew car downtown to get some quick dinner, even returning it after hours. Their kind hospitality will definitely have us coming back. Thank you Gulf Air Center you made our night!
 
From Trae Welch on 28-Apr-2012

 
  I fly in regularly and it is always a pleasure.
 
From Jason Latchaw on 03-Feb-2012

 
  Wonderful service staff, fast line crew, comfortable accommodations. I will come back frequently!
 
From Mark Smith on 15-Jan-2012

 
  Great service at Gulf Air Center. Certainly will be back in the near future.
 
From Jody Logan on 13-Jan-2012

 
  Great Service today. Megan and Shawnda were extremely helpful on courtesy cars and general knowledge of the area. Pleasant to talk to and eager to be of service. Many many thanks! We'll be back!
 
From Joseph Cooley on 06-Jan-2012

 
  Throughout my many years of flying Jack Edwards Airport has to be one of the most pilot friendly airports I have ever flown into. The line staff is exceptional and always on the spot and the desk ladies are the tops, they always greet you with a smile and take care of your every request very expeditiously. If you've never gone to KJKA... Put it on your list of "must stops"!! Keep up the great work!!
 
From Scott Lindsly on 28-Dec-2011

 
  Another run yesterday for our favorite $100 hamburger, GAC was fantastic and accommodating as always...Thanks a bunch! You guys/gals are always so efficient and professional, and your facility so comfortable. My lil girl loved the sporty red Mustang, too :)

Response from Katie Christopher, General Manager, Gulf Air Center
I am delighted that our most recent customers have been so pleased with our service. Thank you for visiting with us, and we certainly appreciate the feedback. Customers are the best thing about this business, so please continue to let us know how we are doing, and we can't wait to see your faces again!


 
From David Hoebelheinrich on 23-Nov-2011

 
  Jack Edwards is a great airport for the beaches. We came in just for a weekend on the beach. The staff was prompt to bring our car out to the plane and was more than friendly. Overall a great experience! Whenever traveling to the Gulf Shores / Orange Beach area I will be sure to use Gulf Air Center again!
 
From Luke Slaton on 01-Jun-2011

 
  My wife and I flew in for Memorial Day weekend. Arrived on Friday and was promptly marshaled to a parking spot. Two business jets arrived about the same time and I was parked between them, so they got the attention and the golf carts. I would have done the same thing. Service at the desk inside was pleasant and efficient. When I arrived at the airport for departure on Monday, the plane was fueled and ready. Tie-down was $12 per night, but they waived one night because of my relatively small fuel purchase. They apologized for not being able to tow my plane up to the terminal because of the holiday rush, but they did drive us down the ramp to the plane. Overall it was a good experience.
 
From Paul McClure on 30-May-2011

 
  Came in in N62TC this Memorial Day weekend. The place was busy, with about 7 in the pattern and the ramp nearly full. We decided to go at the last minute and called about 2 hours before arrival. They found a car for us, hangar space and everything was speedy despite the pace on the ramp. The same for the departure today, lots going on, but the plane was out at the ramp and the line guys all over us to help out. I may still try the other guys due to cheap fuel but Gulf Air did a great job for me and my family.
 
From Mike Rickels on 26-May-2011

 
  I have been flying in for the $100 hamburger on a qtrly basis for years now. Sometimes I've bought fuel and sometimes not but I have ALWAYS been treated extremely well! Feel kinda guilty when I don't buy fuel because I get a courtesy car, clean bathroom, and pretty smiles free of charge!
 
From Tim Morgan on 17-May-2011

 
  Made a Hertz reservation with FBO. She couldn’t give me a rate. When I arrived, the girl gave me a Hertz contract to sign W/O any numbers on it. I asked for the rate and she said she didn’t know. I asked how am I supposed to sign a contract w/o numbers on it. She said she didn’t know and that the SUV was usually about $100/day. I marked a max charge on the contract of $150 (to inc. Taxes/misc) and signed.. Ridiculous but I was in a hurry. Returned 4 hours later, they still didn’t have a rate. I asked that my plane be pulled up. She said they couldn’t, the linemen were busy. I replied that service had gone down there lately. She grinned ear-to-ear and said "Sorry"! Clearly she didn't care. We walked out to the plane, down and across the ramp. Got my cc bill today..$202 for 4 hours rental. I called Hertz and they reduced the bill and said don't call that FBO anymore to make reservations, use the 800-number. The previous poster also seemed to have a rental problem at this FBO. You decide for yourself.
 
From Raoul Fenelon on 25-Apr-2011

 
  Something has changed. We arrived on Friday 22 April, and wanted to go to a local restaurant for an early supper. We knew the wait there was going to be more than an hour so decided to rent a Hertz car for a few hours and, at $39.95 + tax thought it would be reasonable to leave the crew cars for others arriving later. The bill was $54.89! Be warned - maybe tax is 37% and maybe it isn't. (I don't think that the PA28 was flavor of the day either with King Airs around at the same time).

Response from Ricky Hudson, General Manager, Gulf Air Center
To all Gulf Air Center customers, I want to say Thank You. I appreciate your business and your comments both good and bad. Good comments mean that we are doing our job right and the negative comments say we have room to improve. It disappoints me when I find out that an action initiated by Gulf Air Center has caused someone to have a bad experience. In regards to the two recent comments, I have now posted the Hertz rates that show the final cost for a daily rental with all taxes and fees included. Gulf Air Center has worked extremely hard to improve our customer service and to go the extra mile for pilots, crews and passengers. We have upgraded our FBO facilities for your comfort and we offer free food 7 days a week to Pilots and Crews at our "Jack's Aces" Pilot and Crew Hangout. Gulf Air Center strives to make your experience at Gulf Shores a great one no matter what you are flying. Please accept my apology and I look forward to serving you in the future.


 
From Joseph Withers on 13-Mar-2011

 
  We flew into Jack Edwards Airport today to go into Gulf Shores and have some lunch on the beach. The service was great right from the start. A marshaller was waiting for us in parking and asked if we needed assistance right away. We borrowed a crew car from Gulf Air Center, which was a really nice brand new Ford Mustang, with no problems. They have Hertz rental cars available too if you need a car for longer than about an hour. Overall we had a great experience and this is a really nice airport. We will definitely be back...Thanks!
 
From John Landwerlen on 22-Feb-2011

 
  Service was excellent! Jacks Aces was wonderful! Free food for the pilots, and flat screens with Xbox’s. What a great idea. Anyone starting an FBO should visit this place. We'll be back!
 
From Lori Tribley on 11-Feb-2011

 
  What a pleasure it was to fly out of Jack Edwards Airport with amazing service from the Gulf Air Center. I was there to pick up my Diamond aircraft after my son hangared it there for the summer. The FBO staff and instructors were so polite and professional. They made sure the aircraft was ready upon my arrival and flew with me to get familiar with the airport, surroundings and to get reacquainted with my aircraft prior to my return to Houston. Now where else can you get service like that? I would highly recommend this airport, FBO and instructor, Rod. KJKA is very well maintained, beautiful ocean scenery with great service. Thank you again for your hospitality.
 
From Scott Lindsly on 08-Dec-2010

 
  Been far too long since our previous visit (s), and just a quick impromptu stop this past weekend for LuLu's dinner while passing by on our way back home from Disneyworld. But this place & folks are just as fantastic as always...We love it! Jack's gave my lil girl a t-shirt that she got a kick out of & can't wait to come back and check them out further when we're not in a rush. Thanks a bunch, guys...And I promise that it won't be so long again before our favorite $100 hamburger with y'all!
 
From Michael Curtis on 02-Dec-2010

 
  Tyler and Scott do an awesome job. They worked for me when I was Line Service Manager down there for the previous owner under another name.
 
From Ian Ritter on 18-Nov-2010

 
  This place is great! They have always treated my passengers and me extremely well. I have flown to just about every place there is and these guys are far and away the best. Extremely professional and knowledgeable every step of the way. And how about that pilot lounge!!! Jacks aces is the best thing to happen to aviation since the autopilot.
 
From Robert Johnson on 11-Nov-2010

 
  Stopped in for fuel and lunch and we were treated wonderfully. Crew car (a yellow Camaro!) was available for us to take to the restaurant and we spend a few minutes on the beach as well. The only downside is that we weren't able to stay longer- Gulf Shores looks like a great place with an FBO to match.
 
From Frank Kimmel on 07-Oct-2010

 
  I regularly travel to Gulf Shores and have always experienced top-notch service from the FBO.... They are always attentive, take good care of my aircraft and are willing to help in every way possible....
 
From Russell Oakes on 09-Aug-2010

 
  Another great experience at Gulf Air Center. We came over for a concert Friday night and stayed till Saturday. Ashley was expecting us and took great care of us. Our plane was fueled and ready the next morning just as we asked. As always, thanks for a fantastic time.
 
From James Kilgore on 02-Aug-2010

 
  Flew in for a Save the Gulf Fly-In from EET in Birmingham area with 26 aircraft and 70+ people. Were greeted warmly and everything we had requested was available. Left the next morning and had no issues with fuel, getting to aircraft and the courtesy extended was top-notch. The FBO staff makes you feel welcome at a very busy gulf beach location. Cannot beat the service.
 
From Doug Preston, Sr. on 24-Jun-2010

 
  Parked at Gulf Air Center about 0800 this morning (6/24/10) in Citation N577JT. They offered me a car for breakfast but I was not going to be there very long. She advised they were cooking sausages & had pancakes so I had breakfast on the spot. Bought some fuel since they do not have ramp fees. Nice folks and some pretty faces. Felt more like the "Good ole days".
 
From Raoul Fenelon on 09-Jun-2010

 
  Flew in this evening to dine at King Neptune’s. Service was great, the tanks were filled up as requested and the complimentary car was available. Special thanks to Rusty for staying late to give my battery a boost. He was really helpful and great with the kids too! Great place to visit with a large variety of restaurants nearby.
 
From Brian Suggs on 15-Apr-2010

 
  It didn't take long for the new FBO to raise all the prices. Prices were good and reasonable until they eliminated the competition. Great service and staff though. Manager did not return my phone call to discuss hangers. Monthly car parking and fuel is really high - ridiculous for this type of GA airport. Very disappointed. Was a regular and hoped things had changed here.

Response from Kel Jones - General Manager - Gulf Air Center, Inc.
Mr. Suggs, I regret that we have seen Crude Oil go up from $44 per barrel to $84 per barrel since we opened last year. Yes, our retail fuel prices have increased 40% over the same period, but that is much less than the underlying commodity increase of 90%. We committed to be competitive to our customers in fuel price in the surrounding area. That commitment has not changed. We are a full service location, self-serve fuel is not available as an option at KJKA and it will always be difficult to compete with on price. Gulf Air Center eliminated ramp fees at the airport too. We believed our customers would support this decision and they have by their fuel purchase decisions. I appreciate the compliment to our team; they try their best to deliver excellent service every day. I personally apologize for not returning your call. I do not know how that slipped through. I will endeavor to find your number and contact you directly. Sincerely,


 
From Sargent Caldwell on 23-Mar-2010

 
  Back again for the 4th time in 4 years. Always good service, never any problems.
 
From Scott Lindsly on 22-Mar-2010

 
  Our longtime favorite $100 hamburger but first stop at KJKA since Gulf Air Center, same impeccable and impressive facility & service that we have come to expect & appreciate! Busy Saturday so crew car was already gone but it's a short walk to LuLu's and we met up with friends there and toured the Nina & Pinta which were docked for the weekend...Fun stuff! Engine issues on run-up to return home, and Ashley was of immense assistance in obtaining a mechanic on a late Saturday afternoon (Bryant is awesome & responsive, and still helping us out as it turned out to be a major issue). And when it became apparent that we'd have to leave the plane there she quickly got us a 1-way rental to get us back home (New Orleans) and even fussed at Enterprise to get us the best rate! Thanks a BUNCH Ashley!!
 
From David Bonorden on 16-Mar-2010

 
  15 Mar 2010 - great service - they actually filled the tanks on the 210 as ordered (lots of lineman leave them a little low). Great courtesy car. Lulu's restaurant had a 1hr wait, so we skipped that, but there are plenty of other lunch choices across the bridge.
 
From Ron Campbell on 10-Mar-2010

 
  Gulf Air now has full maintenance services just across the field. Very responsive. Had oil changed in February.
 
From Earnest Fontenot on 09-Mar-2010

 
  My daughter's fiancé' and I flew in on Saturday March 6. Crew car was in use so Gulf Air Center made sure we got to Lulu's. They also gave us a voucher that got us a discount on our lunch. After lunch I gave them a call and someone came and picked us up and brought us back to the airport. When we returned my plane was fueled as requested and the bill was ready. What more can you ask for? P.S. If you haven't been to Lulu's you need to go!! This was my first time and won't be my last.
 
From Glenn Wilson on 07-Mar-2010

 
  Flew in today and received great service. Dannie took care of us and was very courteous and friendly. I used the courtesy car, which was by far one of the nicer courtesy cars I've found at any airport. I'll definitely be returning.
 
From Scott Cruise on 13-Jan-2010

 
  The previous FBO here (Jet Center South I think) did not seem to have the time or energy to waste on a C172 and a few gallons of fuel. This is not the case with Gulf Air Center. Excellent service and a friendly staff make this a great stop. N1089U and I will return for sure. Thanks!!!
 
From Tommy Shelton on 11-Jan-2010

 
  Fly out of JKA every week. Service is great and fuel pricing is good. Employees are super friendly and very efficient. Ashley and Danni lead the crew in friendliness and helpfulness. Great FBO!
 
From Wesley Watkins on 23-Nov-2009

 
  Great service! Great prices! Great people! Great FBO! Dannie, Ashley, and the guys always take care of you with 1st class service. Thanks!
 
From Jeff Schnabel on 19-Nov-2009

 
  Unfortunately, service is slow. Took forever to get fuel. Also, DO NOT RENT FROM ENTERPRISE. They tried to bill me for additional days on the weekend due them not being open for business after 12pm on Sat.
 
From Russell Oakes on 21-Oct-2009

 
  What a great place to fly into. The linemen were next to the plane before I even got the door open with cold water for everyone on board. Took good care of my plane by having it fueled to order when I got back. The girls inside had a crew car for us to run over to Lulu's in too. This is my favorite $100 hamburger spot. Easy in and out. Thank yall for such good service.
 
From Joseph Surowiec on 19-Oct-2009

 
  Stopped here going to, and returning from a dog rescue flight. Weather held me up. They gladly gave me their car, and pointed me towards the best cheeseburger ever. On the return trip, I was weathered in with 5 puppies. They did EVERYTHING to make us comfortable. Please give this fine FBO your business. They will surely please.
 
From Mitch Luchansky on 19-Oct-2009

 
  Great FBO!!! Flew in around sunset in my R-44 helicopter the evening of Friday 16 October on my way back to FL from CA. Staff was immediately available to direct me to a secure parking spot away from fixed-wing parking. The next morning when I arrived back at Gulf Air Center the helicopter was fueled and ready to go. Staff took the time to inform me about getting a clearance for a shoreline transition into FL rather than following I-10. Sweet!!! Ask me if I was disappointed flying over the beautiful coast rather than the highway...Not! Can't wait to go back and visit.
 
From Ron Campbell on 09-Oct-2009

 
  Superb service. Have bought fuel, had repairs and even a plane wash and detail. Gulf Air has purchased Jet Center South next door and operates out of that office now.
 
From C Winship on 31-Aug-2009

 
  Second visit to Gulf Air Center this past weekend...Happy to report the same OUTSTANDING attitude and service. I usually never need to buy fuel just flying in from Atlanta...But I always do here in appreciation for their service. Many thanks!!!
 
From Alan Greisz on 20-Aug-2009

 
  Excellent staff. Courteous and Responsive. One of the cheapest coastal area prices for fuel in the general Pensacola area.
 
From Aaron Sohacki on 19-Aug-2009

 
  When you pull into the ramp at JKA be prepared to be wowed by the yellow and red shirted linemen at each FBO. The last night I came in it was raining and the red shirts almost got me by wearing a yellow rain coat. I spotted the gentleman from GAC who guided me in to a stop right in front of the open hangar doors. He then proceeded to tow me in the hangar so I wouldn't have to get wet exiting the aircraft. Now THAT'S service! After that they gave me a ride to the hotel so I wouldn't have the added expense of a rental car. My understanding is these folks usually have the best fuel price as well. This is definitely our preferred FBO at JKA.

  Great service, went in @ 20:00 on Thur night and Jet Center was closed, lineman from Gulf Air came all the way to the north end of ramp to help with tie down, knowing I wasn't buying fuel. 0600 am next morning Jet Center still closed, lineman from Gulf Air came down to see if I needed ice etc. KA200 Will definitely use next time.

  I have now visited all three FBO's at JKA. I would say Gulf Air Center has been the best experience so far. Competition is now well alive at JKA, and Gulf Air will be my port of call in the future.

  Great FBO!! Don't remember the gas prices but the girls behind the counter are Nice too!
 
From John Dews on 12-Jul-2009

 
  The folks at Gulf Air Center are first class and provide first class service. Tyler on the line and Ashley at the desk were on the spot with everything we needed. From our rental car waiting and cooling at our plane to the best fuel prices and brand new facilities, you can't go wrong with GAC. Our Bonanza was treated like a Lear! We'll be back and will use GAC.

  Dannie and the crew are doing an outstanding job. They brought the car out to the plane, helped us load up, and even took us to our condo.

  Flew in for lunch at LuLu's. Get new FBO! Look for the second set of line personnel waving you into the ramp -- the yellow shirts. Best fuel prices in the area! I'll be back. Stinson N8656K

  I have been flying to JKA for a long time. Gulf Air Center has defiantly won me over. Great people, service with a smile, not to mention great fuel prices! This is what a FBO is supposed to be. Great customer service doesn’t cost anything, and this is one of the few FBO`s that has figured this out. Thanks to all the good people at GAC for taking care of me!
 
From William Cobb on 30-Jun-2009

 
  Excellent facilities, top notch management, no ramp fees, comfortable pilot lounge, new, well maintained courtesy car. The best FBO in JKA.
 
From Brian Scott Hallman on 29-Jun-2009

 
  Professional & courteous staff. Dannie, Ashley, Michael and Bar are friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. Fuel prices are excellent as well as the accommodations. I would recommend giving these guys and gals a call if you are visiting the Gulf Shores area.
 
From Luther Sutter on 27-Jun-2009

 
  You guys rock!!!!!
 
From Roger Stafford on 22-Jun-2009

 
  My first visit and WOW! These guys really know how to run an FBO. I've been flying for 29 years and this is the best I've ever experienced. The facility is great, the line guys are knowledgeable and friendly, and the owners go out of their way to make even the single engine guys like me feel really welcome. What is even better is that they have the most competitive fuel pricing in the area. I will be back!
 
From Aaron Pool on 18-Jun-2009

 
  What a great FBO!!!! Unbelievably friendly. Treat you like royalty. AND, have fantastic fuel prices. Only place to stop in Gulf Shores.
 
From C Winship on 07-Jun-2009

 
  Super friendly service! Everyone does a fantastic job from parking to fueling to rental cars etc, etc, etc. Thank you to Dannie and the entire crew. Can't wait to come back and be a regular customer!!! This is the way to run a FBO!
 
From Jeff Zimmerle on 06-Jun-2009

 
  Very good service, be sure to look for the yellow shirts. I almost went for the red shirt guy; they try to get your attention. Will be back soon.
 
From Jack Ferrell on 01-Jun-2009

 
  Wow! If you wanted to be treated like you flew into JKA in a Jet Gulfstream needing 200 gals of fuel...Go to Gulf Air. Royal treatment! They had my rental car standing by and Red Carpet treatment the whole nine yards. No ramp fees and a good price on 100LL. Great bunch of people. I shall return!
 
From Mike Deverson on 26-May-2009

 
  $3.49 a gallon!! I haven't seen prices that good in over 18 months. Great people to deal with. Needed a battery "boost" to get going, everyone at the facility was happy to help me out. I'll be back. Excellent! Thanks to all at GAC.
 
From Fred Brown on 26-May-2009

 
  What a treat. Someone wants and appreciates our business. Gulf Air opened and in less than a three weeks, opened a great pilot lounge with snacks, shower, flight planning, smiles, did I forget ALL FREE, what a concept and prices we have only heard of in the Southeast. They have an A&P on staff, an A&I on call. When you get there let the Yellow shirts park you or IF MONEY IS NO OBJECT LET THE RED SHIRTS SPOT YOUR PLANE.
 
From Travis Martin on 25-May-2009

 
  This was a great stop. They made reservations for me for my rental car and were very friendly when we arrived. There can be some confusion when finding them because the other FBO will do everything they can to get your attention. Look for the lineman in the yellow shirts. The other place is much higher on fuel. Nice FBO with friendly people and great fuel. Does not get any better than this place. Thanks to Dannie and the rest of the crew for the great service.
