What a great operation! I flew in on August 4th for business in an Arrow and they were waiting in the golf cart for me to follow. Three people met my plane, chocked it, called for the shuttle to take me to the FBO building and helped with my luggage. I hadn't called ahead, but a rental car was available and the rate was super cheap at $36/day for a Camry. Fuel was reasonably priced too. The people were all extremely helpful and treated me like I was flying in a Gulfstream. Great place to stop!

Landed after a Thunderstorm. Power was out. They didn't miss a beat! They put our C550 in a hangar as soon as the electricity came on (electric doors on hangar). No fuel purchased, I had a short trip next day with a full load and couldn't hold any. We paid for Hangar, which was our only charge. The previous positive comments are all on the mark.

Stayed here June 26-29, C182. First class operation: linemen were courteous and helpful; plane was fueled immediately and brought out when requested for departure. We were in our rental car within 10 minutes of parking. Fuel prices are competitive. Desk lady was very helpful with courtesy car and hotel reservations for weather-related overnight delay. An excellent experience for big-airport FBO.

Stayed at KCLT for a convention from 27 June to 3 July. Nice facility and courteous staff. Overnight tie downs for transit light aircraft are a quarter-mile from FBO building (by golf cart) and are $15.00 per day. Hangars are available at $100/day. If you have an AERO-Shell Card, a 10% discount is allowed on your purchases.

Flew into CLT with my little glasair. Was treated like a king. Great line people to help park the plane. Bottled water offered and a shuttle came to take me to the FBO even though it was only 200 feet away. Everyone I came in contact with was very professional and willing to help in any way. Fuel price was competitive with the small surrounding airports. Thank you Wilson Air for a great experience!!! Job well done.

Friendly, staff, but best to avoid for GA aircraft. I live in Charlotte, based at Monroe. Picked up a friend who is interested in learning to fly, at Concord. He wanted to see what it was like to go in a busy airport like Charlotte in a Cessna 182. So we went there, and parked at Wilson just to go in and get a drink. On the way out, after a 10-minute stay max, the desk lady asked for a $15 parking fee. A manager showed up about the same time, and "waived" the fee, but I never been asked for $15 to park in most places overnight, much less for about 10 minutes.

I had a bad experience about a month ago; this last time, May 1 was a COMPLETE 180!!! Absolutely AWESOME service!! Even better than what I have expected. Asked for services (about 20min out) and our pax where deplaned straight into the bus for their ride over to the terminal. GREAT SERVICE!! Please keep it up!!!

Wilson Air Center is the FBO that sets the standard for all other FBOs. The staff is sincerely friendly and it's obvious management emphasizes customer service. Every so often you can get great service from other major FBO chains however Wilson Air Center's customer service is consistently very good and that's what sets them apart from other FBOs. A+ They do it right!

Very fine FBO. Had my rental car waiting by the door as soon as I had finished the paperwork. Treated me well in an old Bonanza, even with lots of heavy iron being serviced at the same time. Good folks.

The ABSOLUTE WORST quick turn in the world!!! Landed 12:47 local after calling approximately 30 min out for a quick turn. After deplaning 2 pax and reminding the lineman we needed a quick turn, still no fuel truck. OK. Sent in the FO to remind them and get it started. Nothing. I spoke to another lineman who said he would check on it. Nothing. I went in and finally got them moving. All in all, we were wheels up 1410 with no delays. What made things worse is that the fuel trucks where both parked and plenty of people just standing around!!!

Can't find enough superlatives to describe the great service and hospitality of the folks at Wilson Air Center. They treated us as though our Gulfstream was capable of taking on 200 gals of Jet A, whereas our Tiger only needed 30 gals of 100LL. We decided to RON, due to TRWs in our onward path, and in the morning our plane was pulled up and ready to go. Perhaps the most efficient and friendly FBO we've ever seen!

The comments sound like a "broken record". So I'll add another AAA++++++. Flew our Bonanza to CLT and the service was first class. Great crew, friendly, professional, and quick. Gas price was less than I've seen in the area, which for a class B FBO is great.

Visited Charlotte for one day in my P210 and ended up stuck there an extra night due to weather. The staff at Wilson Air was great. They treated me like I had arrived in a Gulfstream. The line guys were a pleasure the deal with, the staff behind the counter extremely pleasant and helpful, and the fees for hangar, ramp, and fuel were not bad considering KCLT is a major airport.

Arrived for a basketball game. They had transportation waiting. Upon return from the game, the plane was fueled and ready. While our plane is not a corporate jet, we felt as though we were their most important customer. Thanks again Wilson Air Center.

Flew into Charlotte in my Aztec. Wilson line crews were ready to signal me to where to park on the ramp. I stayed for 3 hours and took a crew car. Very friendly service and there was even a discount on fuel for weekends. Very nice FBO. Too bad other FBOs cannot be this nice. Recommend this FBO to all.

My family parked our AG5B Tiger for the day at Wilson Air Center last week while we attended a grade school choral competition at the Carowinds theme park. Wilson Air personnel met us at our humble single piston aircraft with an air-conditioned van and iced-down water. At least 4 employees offered to help in various ways, providing directions and the like, as we picked up our rental car. We were treated equally well on the return trip. Wilson Air is one of the most user-friendly FBOs I have encountered. Recommended.

Visited the Wilson Air Center in a Piper Lance. Despite the fact that Wilson Air is the only FBO at KCLT, great service, great helpful staff and a great experience. For this kind of service I will be back.

Highly professional FBO, but they didn't seem to mind that our C182 was literally the only normally aspirated piston plane on a ramp of 100. A "follow me" cart greeted us and marshaled us to parking. Very customer-service oriented staff on the ramp and inside the FBO. I was impressed that they realized they could not tow a Skylane and came and found me to taxi it, rather than taking a chance of damaging it. We bought fuel and were NOT charged a ramp or overnight fee, quite unusual for a Class Bravo airport FBO.

I'm a relatively new pilot, but this is the best facility and service I've ever received, and I fly a small Piper and only take about 20 gallons of fuel at a time. Thanks to everyone at Wilson, I'll be back. Ps.. For all the single engine VFR guys like me, don't be intimidated about flying into Class B and a major facility. CLT was a breeze. When leaving I sat in line with all the USAir jets, which would not be fun every day, but was certainly worth the laugh from the controller when he lined me up next to all of them.

Best service I have received in a long time at any FBO. Competitive fuel prices and great service. And I was in a Baron, not a G-IV.

My only regret is that I can't go back to Wilson more often. We flew in during a Monday Night Football game in a Seminole, and were treated like the rest of the Lear’s and G-IV's on the ramp, all the way through. This is one of the nicest FBO's I've seen anywhere, but with fuel prices to match even the smaller airports around. It's truly the best of both worlds, can't recommend it enough.

Great FBO, but I had the same problem with my Cherokee- I stopped there on 8-27-06 and had asked for fuel to the tabs and instead it was fueled all the way to the top. However, I believe that it's not the mistake but the recovery that counts and the personnel, after apologizing profusely, took care of the problem. The facility is beautiful and everyone there works hard to make every customer feel like they are the most important account that they have, even when it's a small 4-banger like mine. I will definitely be back and maybe I'll get a gift like the other guy!

I want to give recognition to the staff at Wilson FBO in Charlotte for the wonderful service I received today. I was planning on stopping at a "reliever airport" to present Yackle Ball to a prospective store. But upon calling Unicom the crew car was already taken, so I diverted to CLT. The lineman chocked the plane, loaded my boxes onto a cart and had the crew car loaded in less than 5 minutes! The ramp was full of Falcon’s, Lear’s and other Biz Jets but even a little guy like me in my Comanche got top-notch service. And to top it off, extremely reasonable fuel prices for a large airport! Hats off to Wilson FBO.

I stopped for fuel on Sunday, and due to a mis-understanding, the line crew filled the tanks of my Piper Cherokee rather than providing the partial load I requested. As this put me over gross, I asked them to defuel the airplane to the correct level. Although this turned out to be a significant effort in the hot sun, they accomplished it with the best possible grace and speed. They credited me with the fuel they had to discard and provided complementary gifts for our trouble. They couldn't have been more accommodating in correcting a mistake and being very gracious about it. I'd stop there any time.

If ever an FBO wanted a role model this is it. This is the only game in town and still the best at any airport. Try it you won't be sorry.

I flew an Angel Flight out of CLT today, and the staff at Wilson Air were outstanding. Especially Amanda. They did everything they could to help us, and more importantly the passenger. I would rate them VERY highly!

First class service is what I had read about and first class service is what we recieved. Our angel flight patient and family were offered a crew car to drive themselves to the hospital and back so they would not have to rely on the bus system. CLT has found an FBO that sets the standard.

Flown in several times over the past two months...one of the pilot friendliest FBO's I've ever visited...staff is very friendly and accommodating...multiple courtesy cars available...wireless Internet...nice lounge...would recommend stopping by whenever in the area.

Hands down the #1 FBO in the country. Extremely helpful and courteous staff. Their temporary trailer is nicer than most permanent facilities I've been to. Absolutely blows Signature, the former tenant, out of the water. Always such a pleasure to go here. Gary, you're doing a fantastic job.

I flew into Wilson on 11/28/05 in a 172. The service was good. Tie down was $15 / night, waived for one night with fuel purchase.
- From Greg Wolf

Service was great and people were nice, but they'd probably sell more fuel if they lowered the price. With a $2 difference between here and nearby Rowan County, it's impossible to justify taking fuel here unless you're in a BIG hurry.
- From Dan McClendon

Very good service, but, ouch, at the price of gas, it should be. At over 5.00 per gallon, when I had purchased gas elsewhere on this trip for almost 2 dollars per gallon less, the price difference for the gas alone was more than my car rental plus any tie-down I have ever been charged.
