Outstanding fuel stop. First, the airport is controlled, it has a 10,000-foot runway with approaches and it is very GA friendly. The FBO was terrific, lineman parked the plane and quick top off for a turn around, they even offered to wash the windshield. The FBO is modern and the staff is very friendly. It has full facilities and a well stocked kitchen, which is a courtesy for travelers. Even with all of these services, some of the cheapest fuel in the area. I highly recommend this FBO, this was my first stop but we will be back.

Great stop. Cheap fuel. My daughter had become ill so we decided to spend the night. We were loaned a van and received a pilot discount at a local hotel. Plane was tied down for us. Very friendly staff. Ice cream, hot dogs, and waffles are a nice touch. We will be back.

I couldn't believe all the positive comments on AirNav so I decided to see for myself. I stopped at MEI enroute to BFM to fill up with the inexpensive fuel. Having spent the last 2 hours of the flight dodging thunderstorms I was tired and asked if they knew of a hotel that would provide transportation to and from the airport. Ty, the lovely lady at the desk set me up with a hotel and a courtesy van to use until the following morning (this was early afternoon). The service was absolutely outstanding! I wish I flew in that area more often so I could take advantage of what may be the most customer friendly FBO I've experienced in many years. Thanks.

Meridian Aviation ROCKS!! Stopped by in my weight shift control TRIKE, fueled up the trike, parked it beside some Air Force and Navy jet trainers, walked inside to a welcome sight of hot-dogs, soft serve ice cream, welcoming staff, and everything else that a visiting pilot might need. The front desk helped with directions for the driver so that we had a seamless crew transfer. We will make it a point to return to Meridian Aviation; an FBO that sets the example for operators across the country. OUTSTANDING!!

Meridian Aviation was AWESOME! Cheap 100LL, free hot dogs/ice cream/popcorn, crew car, and friendly employees. I wish I had an occasion to fly here more often, because it was probably the nicest FBO I've ever seen.

Wow...We have not been here for several years. The service has always been good but the facility is the "cats meow". You could have had lunch/dinner with all the free food items they were offering. They had 4 crew vans for use. The new facility was great as well as the very helpful staff. Also, the best fuel prices in the area

Stopped on our way to Sun N Fun 4/12 and 4/15 for fuel. Folks at Meridian Aviation are great. Chris Sutton was great. The FBO is very nice and clean, not to mention the complementary ice cream and hotdogs. Thanks guys. Oh by the way the fuel prices are very good too.

The best FBO in the south hands down. These guys know how to make someone feel welcome, even in a single engine piston. Treated us like royalty AND the cheapest gas for miles around. The FBO has all the food you could imagine (mostly free)! Hot dogs, soft serve ice cream, fruit, coffee... Everything! With a few gallons of gas the overnight fees were waived. They even let us borrow one of their vans for the night. Awesome people here!

I often stop here for a quick-turn due to great service and a good fuel price; last two trips they guys and gals have been "over the top" and I want to commend them -- recognizing one of my pax would appreciate a golf cart they ran and got one; today they recognized me taxiing in and brought the golf cart "in case" I had the same pax on board --- EXTREMELY WELL DONE folks!

WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST FBO I HAVE EVER SEEN, for all the reasons mentioned by others. Cheapest gas around. And did I mention that I was stuck in Meridian 6 days because of wx, trying to get to Texas? No problem -- nobody else wanted the courtesy van so I kept it the whole time!

Overnight in MEI and experienced snow in MS, the fine people at Meridian Aviation worked with us to accomplish our flight the next day in exceptional fashion. Chris, the front desk, and line crew were all above the level of service I expected. Good job to all of you. I will recommend and use Meridian Aviation in the future. P.S. The gas prices are some of the best anywhere also!

I stopped for fuel on Saturday the 8th and was delighted to find free hot dogs and very friendly people. When I tried to leave my plane would not start. Andrea went out of her way to find help for me, and Eugene as able to get my starter to work. This is a terrific FBO which I would recommend to every pilot who is in the Meridian area.

Almost didn't post my comments because there are already so many accurately positive remarks, but here goes anyway... Truly the best FBO I've ever visited. Make it a point to stop whether I need fuel or not. Fresh cup (brewed a cup at a time) of Starbucks coffee and an ice cream cone will get you on your way. Clean, polite, first class.

I have laid over here before and have always had a good experience. However lately it seems to have gotten even better! I haven't been there in a while and the facilities are even nicer. Fuel is still an excellent value. Line guy met me at the SS pump just to check if I needed anything. Stopping here is an easy decision.

I have been there several times in a Cessna 162 (Light Sport) and it doesn't seem to matter what you fly in, the treatment and service is second to none. Great people, quick, courteous and professional treatment. The free hot dogs, ice cream, coffee and even a waffle making machine is a big plus. They even allowed me to take one of their courtesy vans to a motel for the night. If I am anywhere near Meridian, I will stop in even if it's a little out of the way. If you ever get the chance, do yourself a favor and stop there. You won't regret it!

The best I've seen of any GA FBO, snacks, waffles, hot dogs, a Starbucks machine, and some of the best sweet tea southern girls can brew, and the most friendly service. (Mark, Ty, Kristi J, and CiCi.) I operate often out of Key and doing long cross countries is always a reminder of how lucky I am to get the incredible service that is provided with a smile!

Super Facility, I like the Thrust Reverser for the Customer Service Counter. All the food you could ask for at an FBO, Waffles, Hot Dogs, Ice Cream Cones, Tea, all COMPLIMENTARY. Can't ask for anything more. Great Job Meridian Aviation :) ********** (10 Stars!)

Arrived after hours and called the emergency number to get the gate code to let the cab in. The cab didn't wait for us to figure the code out, and took about an hour to come back after we called the dispatch office. The whole cab company seemed terrible and I would hate to deal with them again. Too bad that they are the only cab option in town. HOWEVER, the next morning, Meridian gave us a free ride over from our hotel, and some of the best, most courteous service that I have ever seen. We were offered all of the free amenities, but were running late so only had time to fill up with cheap SS before leaving. I would go out of my way to visit these guys again.

Flew in for overnight stop the first week of June on the way from to Orlando and again on the return flight. This is one of the nicest GA stops I have ever experienced in over twenty years of flying. The people were very friendly and they provided my wife and I a van to use overnight to drive to our hotel and back the next morning on BOTH trips. NO CHARGE, no tie down fee, and very reasonable fuel costs. How does it get any better? Well, they also have complimentary popcorn, nachos, waffles and other goodies. AMAZING. Thanks for your hospitality. I will go out of my way to visit again.

I and my four passengers in my Bonanza diverted to Key Field last Sunday after thunderstorms formed over our destination north of Laurel, MS. We were on our way to a visitation for an elderly uncle who had passed away. The Meridian Aviation folks were incredibly friendly and helpful. When securing a large enough rental car on short notice proved difficult, they loaned us one of their passenger vans for the trip, which was about 45 minutes each way! Meridian Aviation has earned a place on my short list of FBOs to go out of the way to.

Stopped at Meridian on the way to Florida...What a pleasant experience! We were literally met with a red carpet on the tarmac, and everyone was friendly and service-oriented. I had mentioned that a strut seemed a little low, and by the time we came back the following morning (8am), Jonathan had already checked it out! We will go out of our way to stop here on our cross-country trip from now on.

Great FBO. I was guided to my front row parking spot in my Bonanza, greeted by a friendly lineman who took my fuel order and called the fuel truck, and my tanks were being topped before I had my bags on the tarmac. When I left the next day, I received the same friendly, helpful service even though I was only able to take on 9 gallons due to my short flight in from my home field. The FBO offers free popcorn, hotdogs, ice cream, coffee, and iced tea in their kitchen, and they have tables and chairs outside to sit and watch the Navy jets come and go. The experience at Meridian Aviation is very different from the one I had the previous weekend at a major chain FBO at a major airport 125 NM NE of MEI where I paid $2 too much for fuel per gallon because they are the only FBO on the field. Other FBOs could learn a major lesson in customer relations from this one.

I landed at Meridian while ferrying an Air Tractor 502. Scott, who parked me (next to an F-18, woo woo!), is the only one who has had the good sense to step out from behind the nose once he had me lined up, so I could see his signals. All the others have stood rooted in place as they disappear from my view, futilely waving their arms over their heads as that big prop advances on them. Scott didn't even wait till he couldn't see me--he clearly understood what was about to happen. I told him right away I didn't need any fuel, but had only landed because of weather ahead, but he and the CSR inside couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating if I'd filled the hopper with Jet-A.

All I can say is GREAT PLACE TO STOP!! I arrived on Friday, not knowing it was Pizza day! Great lounge, hot dogs, chili, ice cream, Starbuck's coffee and all FREE!! This has to be my favorite stop in the country, I even go a bit out of my way if I need fuel to stop there. Plus, you get to see many cool military planes and chat with military pilots!! My last stop I spoke with a guy on his way to Afghanistan...God Bless our fighter pilots!!

Absolutely top-notch FBO! Flew in for a fuel stop on the way to Texas on 10/7/10 in a Seminole and a line guy was waiting to park us. We were being fueled before we even got out of the plane! The CSR up front was very friendly, helping my copilot and myself get a low-enroute chart that we didn't have. She offered us use of the crew van and also told us about the free food they had. They had hot dogs, a waffle maker, popcorn, and chocolate ice cream! Enjoyed the service and amenities so much, we used it as a fuel stop the following day and was surprised to find that they have pizza on Fridays! What a place. Will definitely use this FBO again when going out west. Excellent job line and customer service!

He told us about the complimentary ice cream, hot dogs, etc. My dad met us at the FBO. Before we left, we did partake of the hot dogs. Great FBO and great staff- linemen and the lady at the front desk.

We stopped for fuel while bringing my new (to me) plane across the country. Renata greeted us on the ramp who pushed another plane out of the way as we approached to make room for us at the Self-serve pump. Gas was $3.95! After helping us fuel, she whisked us to the FBO for hot dogs, iced tea and ice cream. We left refreshed and ready for our final leg home. Great staff, great gas price and great service!

I have stopped at MEI many times over the years, and simply have not found a better FBO experience! Keep up the good work.
