This is a well run FBO. The line service and CSRs are second-to-none. I travel the world as a GLEX aviator and cannot say that I've often been better treated as a customer in that capacity as I have been at KJKA in a Bonanza. Gulf Shores may be a 'small town' but this FBO is 'Big Time' in service.

Flew into Jack Edwards for a "hamburger run" to Lulu's. I cannot say enough about the service. The last time I saw linemen jump out of their golf cart to guide in our little Bonanza was a decade ago. They had no idea if we were staying overnight or purchasing fuel (which we did, though pricey) and still laid out the red carpet for us. They even loaned us a courtesy car for the 1 mi ride to Lulu's. This will be a must stop location when traveling to the "Redneck Riviera"!

Landed on July 5th and had exceptional service! Tyler pulled out our rental vehicle to the plane and helped unload the packed lance. I am certain that is not in his job description. Great job Tyler! We appreciated the GREAT customer service!

Best line service and CSR 's! I'm glad JKA is an "often" stop for us. These folks are the best at what they do!

Not worth the extra expense. Should have gone to Foley. Receptionist was rude several times. FBO was still under construction. 15.00 a day for a tie down is ridiculous considering we already paid + 6.00 for gas. I thought since this was a family vacation to the Gulf it would be nice to land at a "red carpet airport" but I will not be back.
Response from Teri Jackson, Director of Aviation, Jet Center South
Mr Steele, we are truly sorry that your experience at Jet Center South was not a good one. We do appologize and work hard to make sure our customers are happy. It appears we failed you and appreciate your comment as it shows us we need to always strive to do better. We are also sorry for the inconvience of the construction. The Airport Authority is building a terminal expansion and Airport Authority office. When done it will allow many additional features for customers ie. larger break room, showers and large executive conference room that we hope all will enjoy. We hope you do give us another try someday.. Thank you for your business.

Landed here recently for a vacation in Gulf Shores. The service here is remarkable!!! When we got out, the red carpet was rolled down and the rent-a-car was sitting behind the aircraft with the a/c on cool (Very helpful during the hot summer). Two of the lineman where there and helped us remove our luggage. They were very polite and helpful. In all, I will most definitely return here and recommend this airport to anyone looking to go to Gulf Shores.

What a GREAT place to stop!!! On our trip to the Bahamas and Sun n Fun, we stopped both ways. Lulu's is not to be missed! The staff here is wonderful, very helpful and stayed open late because they heard us shooting the approach. They got four very tired people a crew car and a room for the night and had our twin fueled early the next morning. The fuel is pricey but the service makes up for it! This is a MUST stop for us.

Stopped in for an overnight in a light jet. Even though they increased the landing fees there is no minimum fuel purchase to waive the fee. We bought enough fuel to get back home. They were more than willing to be competitive on fuel prices. The line service is top notch. You get the same service if you are in a Falcon or a cub. Crew car is available. WiFi in lobby and comfortable place to be. CSR's are friendly and very helpful. Lu-Lu's is a great place to eat just around the corner. We always look forward to trip to Gulf Shores, AL.

Nice facility and nice folks. They loaned us the crew car for lunch. The big negative is they have increased the ramp fee for light jets from $100 to $175. My passengers indicated they would go to Foley or Fairhope in the future.

We stopped there in a J-3 Cub and they rolled out the red carpet for us. What a terrific bunch of people. Line staff friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Make this place a stop, folks.

Excellent FBO. These folks just seem to have a good attitude toward general aviation and are a pleasure to deal with. Like all coastal airports, fuel's a little pricey, but tie down is waived with a fuel purchase.

Top notch service once again. There was a fly-in going on when we arrived, we had no interest in that, we needed fuel and tie down for 5 days. They immediately took care of our needs, had the rental car at the plane when we parked, helped us unload and load baggage, fueled us and towed the plane to tie down right away. Upon leaving, they had the plane brought to the front and helped us load. Excellent service all the way.

Very professional facility from the second you land. I was only there for a quick visit and to pick up some seafood. They had me fueled and ready to go when I returned to the airport on a busy Friday.

Note the statement of "no landing fees" however they do have a "ramp and handling fee". I was charged $100 today for a citation 501 without a fuel purchase. Personnel were friendly and they let us use the crew car for lunch. No fees for single engine.

Good, fast service for our pax, their 2 dogs, and us! We were quickly hooked up to a gpu, fueled, and on our way again. Linemen were courteous, and helped us unload and transfer pax bags.

These people are great. I landed and was met with a friendly smile. I called ahead on my departure date for fuel, and my aircraft was fueled and ready to go upon arrival. Fast, friendly service, but pricy fuel. Buying fuel waives only 1 night's tie-down fee ($15/night).

Fast & friendly service. We were greeted with excellent service when we arrived. The on-site Enterprise Car Rental desk was very convenient. We stayed 9 days. There is a $15 per day parking fee for light singles. One day's parking fee was waived with fuel purchase. The terminal is very nice with flight planning facilities. A little pricey, but excellent service and in the right place!

Outstanding service and a very nice place to overnight and wait out weather between Dallas and Key Largo. We booked a room at the La Quinta, and Brandon just drove us over there instead of making us get a taxi. On the trip back, Roni got us a nicely discounted room rate at the Marriott Courtyard. Onsite car rental counter made things quick and easy. Nice lounge with TV and leather sofas, a weather briefing room. Lots of jets but they still put out an actual red carpet for my little 1960 Mooney.

Had a very nice experience at Jet Center South. The lineman marshaled us in directly in front of the FBO building, rolled out the red carpet, and had our Enterprise car parked and cooled down even before we exited the airplane. All this for a Cherokee. They also helped schlep our bags to and from the airplane to our car. Great service.

I received excellent service on a long weekend stay (4/12-4/15). After shutting down my Piper Archer III I was surprised to get out of the plane and step onto a red carpet. Lineman was very friendly and professional. During this weekend Gulf Shores had a pretty good thunderstorm roll thru with high winds and I was very pleased to see my plane had been tied down. Jet Center South does charge an overnight fee of $15 for light single engine aircraft. One overnight was waved with fuel purchase. Nice big HD flat panel TV in snooze room. First Class Operation!!

Flew into Jack Edwards for a weekend stay. Jet Center South is a beautiful facility with a friendly, courteous staff. The lounge/waiting area is first class...WSI weather is also available.

Excellent service this year. Last year it was just okay, this year they had the rental car at our parking spot, literal red carpet service exiting the plane, lineman helped load baggage into rental car. Very friendly place, and a great vacation destination.

Yesterday, 03/24/07, we attended their first Gulf Coast Pilots fly-in. All of the staff was very pleasant and cordial. We were personally met by Mike and he directed us to our parking spot...He then introduced himself and welcomed us to the event. The food was great...And they were only asking for a $2 donation and 1/2 was going to a charitable organization. We were happy to (as I am sure most pilots/people did) make a "worthy" donation! Their door prize assortment was very varied and quite extensive...They had put a lot of time and effort into contacting vendors, etc. Although we did not win the Grand Prize (a new handheld radio), we did win a $25 gift certificate for Lambert's Café (the home of throwed rolls)...For us this was great. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all the staff and management for their hard work and hospitality to all the attendees. Thank You!

March 21st the service from Jet Center was great. The staff was very courteous and professional. The Hertz rental desk was more than helpful. Look forward to going back.

This trip was a pleasant experience. The friendly and attentive staff more than fulfilled all of my needs. Location and the friendly folks in Pensacola approach make Jet Center South the place to go. Crew car and recommendations on a delicious lunch were provided. I will definitely return to Jet Center South, they truly are the best FBO I have EVER been to.

Fast & friendly service, we were greeted with red carpet service when we arrived. Thanks to Michael Curtis for the friendly and fast line service, and the girl at the front desk that heard me trying to rent a car at the Hertz desk that had none available, when I walked away she called me over and had another place to call, we had a car on site in 30 min. I topped off the tanks when we left after a two-day stay. I got home and looked at the invoice and they had charged me $10.00 for one of the days I don't know which one or why they decided to charge me for.

My family and I arrived in our Aztec and were greeted by a courteous and professional staff. We were offered the same professional care and friendly service that I saw the corporate jets receiving. They were proactive in anticipating our needs and offering solutions. We will definitely be back to enjoy the Gulf Shores area and take advantage of the Jet Center hospitality.

Their $100 jet landing fee is still in effect. Lineman tipped us to the fact that even a small amount of gas would waive that. Was able to negotiate 50 gal purchase to waive two landing fees for the day.

We had called ahead, the rental car was brought to the plane, and everything was well done. The staff was friendly. We look forward to going back.

Landed my Turbo Arrow to discover I had a flat nose tire. Jet Center South more than accommodating, sent Lectro tug out to the runway and towed me to Coastal Maintenance Shop. Coastal arranged to order a tire and tube at 445P on a Friday from California and had overnight shipped and installed by noon on Saturday. We departed Sunday as scheduled. And the charge was more than fair considering short notice, Saturday delivery, and Saturday install. Highly recommend both the FBO as well as Coastal (airport shop).

A pleasant quick turn experience. Fast courteous staff, modern facilities, Hertz desk inside the FBO. Even without prior notification a quick turn jet fuel order was completed within 15 minutes. Thanks!

Flew down there last weekend. They did a great job of meeting my plane (a Mooney) and placing it in a hangar for the night. Fuel prices were not any more expensive than my homebase (CTJ). Very friendly people.

Just returned from a weekend trip to Gulf Shores. The people at JetCenter were great. They took care of placing my plane in a hangar as I requested. Fuel prices are the same as my homebase of CTJ. We will plan another trip down there.

This is a very convenient airport to the Gulf Shores beaches and resorts. The FBO is satisfactory, nothing to rave about, but no complaints, either. They did what we asked, and took care of our needs.

Red Carpet service! You are always met at the plane by line service. They are always ready to take your requests. Excellent crew car availability. Customer Service is outstanding...always smiling faces. Thank you Teri J. for making sure I made it to the hotel each night. FIRST CLASS OPERATION!

Flew in on Thanksgiving Day. Service was great -- line personnel as well as desk clerk were extremely helpful and courteous. The girl at the Hertz counter when we departed on Saturday was rude as well as incompetent (not a good combination). Try to deal with David if you use Hertz.

Stop-over on the way to KEYW. Called ahead and a very nice young lady arranged a hotel for us for the night and gave us taxi numbers. Very nice FBO. Would go there again. Thanks.
