The atmosphere at MBA is highly professional yet friendly, the state of the aircraft gives the pilot confidence, making the entire flying experience with MBA very pleasant.

Stopped here several times now. Friendly people. Great Enterprise rental car rates. AirBoss discount. The only downside is having to leave a bread crumb trail on the road because it is tucked away behind the fairgrounds, and if you're not careful you might be driving around a bit. (They did print us out a map with directions... )

Service was outstanding. MBA personel were clearly focused on ensuring customer satisfaction-- beginning with taxi guidance to the tie-down, ramp personel taking fuel order and performing service, friendly customer service at the desk making call to cab company, and the CEO stopping by to talk prior departure.

I had the opportunity to visit Monterey Bay Aviation this last weekend. This was my third visit to Monterey Bay in the last year or so. I have consistently found this FBO to offer excellent service and decent (or as "decent" as they can be) fuel prices. The service this last Sunday morning was even better than usual. The line tech was outstanding and the lady at the desk went above and beyond to secure us a rental car. I was impressed and my passengers were impressed. I can, without reservation, recommend this FBO.

I selected Monterey Bay Aviation because it appeared from the comments that this FBO was mostly oriented to piston aircraft as opposed to jets at the other two FBO's. Upon arrival, I noticed oil smeared on the outside of the cowling and dripping on the nose gear. Larry, the mechanic, stopped what he was doing and took a look. He said he would get on it the first thing the next day. (We were leaving in two days, just before the weekend.) The bad news was that the overhauled oil cooler with 11 hours on it had a leak at a weld. The good news is he would order a new one in and have it installed in time for us to leave as scheduled. All was accomplished as promised at very reasonable hourly rates. The service was excellent and the people extremely helpful. I would highly recommend this FBO. In addition their fuel is considerably cheaper than the other FBO's.

Tied-down at MBA on a picture perfect day this past weekend. Found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Used their rental car service as we were going down to Carmel for lunch, and thought the price ($25) was fair. Also found the airport diagram most helpful due to the taxiway layout.

Ross De Franco: Thank you, thank you for the recent advice. I am going to follow your advice. I have had great experiences at MBA in the past, but it looks as though things have changed a bit. Mooney driver

Two major things have changed since my last visit. 1. They charge a $10 ramp fee. 2. There is no longer a crew car available, or even rides available to downtown. A taxi down to the wharf costs $25 round trip, and slightly more to Cannery Row or the aquarium. So if you are only flying in for the day, I would recommend going to Millionaire Monterey. They charge a small ramp fee but it is cheaper than taking a cab (they offer crew cars and rides). The service was still great and the staff was friendly. I just won't buy more expensive gas and pay a ramp fee unless the courtesy car returns.
Response from John M. Lotz, Chairman and CEO, Monterey Bay Aviation
In an effort to correct the comment submitted by Ross DeFranco, our only focus is the General Aviation pilot that fly’s a non-turbine airplane. We understand the costs associated with flying and do all that we can to keep them as low as possible. Our fuel price is the lowest on the airport and we do not charge a tie down if you stay less than three hours. If you purchase fuel we waive the tie down fee. We do not offer a crew car in an effort to keep our fuel cost down. We do, however, offer an hourly rate for an Enterprise Rent-a-Car, which is $25 for two hours, all taxes included in this price. Whenever possible we will try and accommodate special requests and do provide rides to pilots in need.

We spent a wonderful week in the very capable hands of Monterey Bay Aviation flying the central California coast. They treated both our Turbo Lance and us with the utmost respect and professionalism, provided us with local information, and even stayed late so that we could fly the Bay Tour at night. This is by far the best FBO we have ever encountered (and we travel a great deal). They have a commitment to piston G.A. That doesn't always exist elsewhere. We would highly recommend them (and a trip to the Monterey area in general). Thanks to Michael, John, and all the line guys for a fantastic experience. Your service is second to none.

Excellent and friendly service. Gas price is reasonable for a class C. A must stop for flying into Monterey. Thank you

Unbelievable Service! From the Lineman with the tow-motor to park our plane to the Very Nice Young Lady at the front desk who handled everything from fuel to a cab. Even the General Manager pulled our plane out from the tie-down for us on departure. Fantastic!

Outstanding, friendly service with the lowest fuel prices on the airport. All the staff bent over backwards to help. We'll definately be stopping thru on our next trip!!!

Monterey Aviation just acquired one of the other FBO's on the field, APR. The tie down area in front of APR, which was the only one on the south side of the runways, is now closed for transient use. Don't know if the self-serve 100LL pump is also closed there, but suspect that it is. Service at Monterey Aviation is friendly and fast.

I arranged overnight parking and rental car with Tea, their customer service mgr. everything was exactly as requested, including a very good rate from Enterprise. I additionally called their GM, Michael to inquire about getting an oil change for my Cherokee. He arranged with a mechanic who was part of the former APR Aviation Maintenance Co, which Monterey Bay Aviation just bought, to perform the last minute request for the oil change. Everything was done in very satisfactory manner, especially considering it was last minute, before a Memorial Day weekend. So, this FBO and shop gets my sincere thanks across the board.

Mike and the staff at MBA went out of their way to help me in a bind. They even called Larry away from his Sons birthday party to fix my plane. I can’t say enough about these guys. It's a great place to do business. Thanks again!

Recently visited Monterey Bay Aviation in my Grumman AA-1C. From the moment I taxied in and shut down, to the time I fired up to depart for home, this FBO's staff did all one could expect to make my stay easy, pleasurable, and memorable. The FBO's friendly and efficient staff ensured I had everything I needed, when I needed it. They even gave a companion a lift to the airline terminal in the staff member's own POV, when all we asked for is a cab. It is one of the cleanest, nicest and most modern FBO's that a small aircraft owner can experience. Having the least expensive AVGAS available on the field, also helped as well. My many thanks to Michael, Tea (a true sweetheart) and the General for all their assistance and courtesies. THE FBO to stop at when at KMRY!

We flew in on New Years Day 2007. Had a line guy marshal me in and chalk my airplane. We just mentioned that we wanted to get something to eat at the wharf, and they immediately offered us a crew car. Plane was gassed up when I got back. Great service. This is where I will always fly into when I go to Monterey.

We were forced by weather to make an unplanned stop at MRY, and then stranded there for two days by mechanical problems. The folks at Monterey Bay Aviation could not have been nicer or more helpful. They referred us to a good mechanic, and intervened with him to move us to the top of his schedule to get us on our way again ASAP. They assisted us with local knowledge for route planning under less-than-ideal weather forecasts, and were gracious to allow us to keep the crew car beyond normal limits. This is my second stop at Monterey Bay Aviation, and they keep getting better and better each time. I will definitely stop there next time.

Flew into this FBO at around 10am and told tower that I wanted to taxi to MBA. By the time I was pulling into their ramp they had a line guy running out to an open parking spot and guided me in and chocked my plane after I had shutdown. Absolutely more than friendly and helpful and fuel was very respectable for a full service operation. The inside was very nice and I picked up a bag of chips and a drink for the flight home for a dollar. Overall a great experience and they went out of their way to make my stop a success

Very friendly, offered courtesy car immediately when we said we were looking for a place to eat (and wanted to go someplace off the airport).

Monterey Bay Aviation is the best! I am grateful to them for the great service (and the generous use of their courtesy car) this Sunday. After years of using the FBO off 28L, I have now become a loyal MBA customer.

Monterey Bay Aviation was a good choice, for me. 9/2006 flew into MRY-my first time, the controller kept me too high 3,500' and dropping to the runway was a steep aggressive slip, but on the ground the treatment by Monterey Bay Aviation, Donna, Michael and Robert, were helpful and pleasant, they enjoyed being helpful. Michael explained taxiways to an intersection departure as we were getting ready to pull away, very helpful. I will go back, I suggest you try Monterey Bay Aviation; my guess is you will be glad you did. I might make this a common overnight trip. I just need to find a better place to stay.

My fiancé and me were just going for a short stop but changed our minds to get something to eat. Without hesitating, the staff asked us if we wanted to use their car to go downtown for something to eat. Fuel prices were a bit high but it didn't make much difference with our little plane. I definitely recommend these people due to the friendly environment and the service orientated staff.

The facility moved across the field from the last time I was there, and while ok, it was not opulent by any means. What was extraordinary was the level of concern all the folks there put out- from top to bottom. It was actually one of those places I felt bad about not spending enough money for needed fuel. No question a great place to go.

I flew my family into Monterey for a quick visit to the Aquarium on August 30th. Donna, the director of sales and marketing, had arranged for a rental car from Enterprise. When we arrived, they had an upgraded car for us and the lineman helped me button up the plane. On departure the next morning, the plane was fueled and ready. The facility is nice and service was excellent. I highly recommend using Monterey Bay Aviation. Call them in advance and they can serve you better. Thanks again Donna.

I flew in on June 17th called a few days prior for a rental car. I landed, they showed me where to park and pulled the car up to the plane. I was only in a Bonanza but they treated me like I was in a GV. There was a mix up with the rental cars, no big deal but they seemed to really care to make sure I was happy with the car and their service. I will go back to Monterey Bay Aviation next time and everytime I'm in town. They also had the best fuel prices on the field. Good job guys!

Very helpful! I called to let them know I was flying in, and they arranged a rental car. I flew in at 7pm in my Piper Warrior and they were waiting for me. The service was top notch!

Monterey Bay Aviation was an outstanding host to our EAA Chapter 62 visit on 4-8-06. We were greeted by "Donna" and given a guided tour of the spacious and imaculate facility. Following this, each of us were given a packet of information useful for the Monterey Bay Area. We highly recommend you visit this outstanding FBO and experience the hospitality and opportunities for instruction, refreshments and commercial flight services. They're right across from the terminal with free shuttle over to the terminal as well as to hotels along Fremont Blvd.

Very nice people. We had an EAA Chapter flyout to MRY and Monterey Bay Aviation was very helpful and made us feel welcome. They had prepared an information packet for everyone and gave us a facilities tour. Pleasant experience.

We flew into MRY in a C172 for an afternoon at the aquarium. Having called ahead, the lineman was waiting as we taxied up. Great service, nice people, and quaint enough to make a light single feel at home. They called a cab for us and gave me the cellphone number of someone to call as well as the codes to the gates in case we got back after they had closed.

I flew in for an overnight from San Diego. I called the morning of and asked for a rental car and a tie down. When we arrived on RWY 10R and found myself on their doorstep called them up and a line guy sprinted out and parked my Mooney, handed me the keys to a rental car, and made great suggestions for dinner on the Wharf. When we were ready to depart the next day we pulled in the gate parked next to the plane, paid our tab (25 gal x $4.30 gal 100LL) they waived the $25 overnight and happy to report there was no ramp fee. We were airborn about 10 min from "Clear!" Great job! Everyone was fast and ready to please, You will have my biz anytime I wander that way.
