Great general aviation support, friendly and professional. Excellent for a fly-in restaurant and quick turn. Fast fuel and line support. They made the BELLA FLIGHT, Cessna 421B, passenger support easy and convenient.

Outstanding services by the entire team at Marathon General Aviation. Nettie exceeded my expectations and it was great to meet Kirsten on her first day! Their smiling faces are most welcoming. Many thanks to Landon for the line services and to Justin for the avocado, cannot wait to try the mangoes! The key lime pie traveled safely to Vero Beach and my family said it is delicious! Thank you ALL for your hospitality. See you soon!

Stayed four nights and was charged $100.00 per night just because my Lancair IVP has a turbine on it. I couldn't meet the fuel requirement, even though I bought 52 gallons. If I came in with piston version-same size and weight- the fee would have been $30.00 per. I'm an individual not a corporation.

Up until recently I was a long-term monthly tenant with MGA for years. Left for the December holidays. When I flew home in the beginning of January I was ambushed with a 250 percent monthly rate increase. No prior notification was sent. Basically got told too bad. I moved my plane two days later and was charged 20 a night plus addition 20 for not buying fuel total of 67 dollars including all their other fees. If this is how they have decided to treat long-term tenants, I hate to think how visitors will be treated from now on.

6 nights on the ramp with my single engine turboprop cost over $160 PER NIGHT, with no fuel purchase because my tanks were not empty enough to accommodate the minimum. I spoke with the manager at length about this price gouging, but got no relief. His primary argument seemed to be that Key West charges even more. The line and desk staffs do a fine job, and they graciously lent me a crew car when we arrived, but the pricing imposed by new management feels abusive and far beyond what can be justified by cost increases.

Landing fees for a light twin totaled $45 without adding the minimum 40 gallons of 6.81 avgas.

Very nice flight to MTH and a Lineman was there to greet the plane/assisted with parking. The Lineman was also quick to service fuel as requested and there is still a service fee at this airport even if you purchase fuel. The cost for 100LL on this day was $6.55 per gallon and not that much more than the self-service 100LL. BUT when I walk into the FBO with no one else around, a woman with thick glasses began to screech about a facemask was required. Then the boss (obviously him) walk into the FBO without his mask on but NOT a word came from the same woman. I think that the FBO would be improved if this same woman were replaced.

Cannot speak for the avgas side of things but flying a Citation Bravo (you leave a comment for the jet side of the FBO) all over the country I can say Marathon has the highest fees of any airport I go to with the exception of Teterboro. Minimum fuel purchase, for the ridiculous high priced fuel is 275 gallons. For a Bravo that is just shy of half tanks, God forbid you only can only take on 200 gallons or in my case 250, you pay the high price for the fuel AND HIGH RAMP FEE. They really go out of their way to gouge the flying public.

KMTH General Aviation has been excellent during our trips to Keys. Always flexible. Line staff and front desk folks are awesome. Highly recommend.

After landing, we are asked if we prefer to pay the 15$ fee vs. buying 10 gals of 100LL at 6.35$. We go for the 10 gals of fuel, as we needed some anyway. When returning after lunch, we are hollered at by the lady at the counter claiming our C172 would not take more than 9.3 gals and she would "gracefully" and "exceptionally" accept to waive the 15 $ fee. Quite strange, only 9.3 gals after a 2.2 hrs. flight... Anyway we leave and when we get to destination we had a message to call her back since the lady had switched receipts with another plane and wanted us now to authorize a sale of 0.7 gals (yes, 3 quarts of 100LL). Ok, we could have assumed that the mistake being so minor, this could have been waived, but no, we were charged for the 0.7 gals of 100LL. And another 2.5 $ "security fee".... Will I fly to MTH again? Maybe be and only if I have no other option.

Jury is out on this one...Ran down to Marathon to escape hurricane Dorian. Working with relief pilots they have told me Dorian devastated parts of Bahamas. This was an emergency reposition and not vacation or business travel. It was low season and 50% of the businesses are closed. Marathon GA/Marathon Jet (who are the same company) quoted me a laundry list of premium charges. Since the hurricane stalled we were stuck extra days which they charged full price for. The runway is too short and has towers off the end for us to add more weight in fuel that they required us to buy or pay penalty. I asked for days to talk to Manager James about working out something but never heard back. Waited in FBO for James to show up until it was too late and we had to leave. CSR made comment that "Marathon is expensive down here" even though we didn't have any choices then. For people who were impacted by a hurricane themselves one would think they wouldn't be so hardened and crass...
