Edward
December 14, 2025The best FBO stop in the Mid-West region. Quick turns are extremely fast; if you stay for lunch, the CSRs direct you toward wonderful food and service. Des Moines is a relaxing and enjoyable place for an overnight stay (RON). Prices are fair and offer good value. Overall, a 10+ rating for Modern.

July 26, 2025Excellent FBO service. Pricing seems fair; they looked after our aircraft and secured it in a hangar ahead of a storm. Since they had space, they kept it sheltered for a week, charging only for one day. The line personnel and customer service representatives were all very friendly and attentive. This was a very good stop, and considering the C.A.A. fuel rates, we will definitely make this our regular technical stop going forward.

June 30, 2025What an excellent experience! The line staff was very friendly, and Taylor at the counter was amazing. There were no charges for 10 gallons of fuel, and a crew car was offered even though it was a Saturday. My wife was very impressed, and we definitely plan to return.

May 28, 2025I visited for a couple of days and was very impressed with the services provided and the efficiency of operations. Sarah at the front desk was quite pleasant, and the line service personnel had me fueled immediately upon arrival. Furthermore, they promptly secured my aircraft inside the hangar just before a storm hit. I certainly plan to return!

October 19, 2023Excellent service. Stopped by for a couple of hours; the ramp fee was waived with 10 gallons of fuel and a courtesy car provided to get dinner downtown. Staff were helpful and courteous.
