From Sal Lagonia on 29-Nov-2008
This is my second time at Columbia Air Service and once again I was pleasantly surprised at the great service this FBO provides. The line service was attentive and professional, and the desk personnel were friendly and accommodating. This is truly the best FBO that I have had the pleasure of using and will go out of my way to return.
 
From Dennis Murphy on 11-Oct-2008
This FBO is easily one of the best I have ever been to! The crew and staff are very friendly and more than willing to help you out in any way they can. If you're landing at GON and need anything, let Columbia know! ( I have to admit though, I felt a little out of place surrounded by all these beautiful aircraft while I was flying a beat-up 1970's C152 :) )
 
From Geoffrey Knauth on 22-Sep-2008
I flew in for my niece's wedding. Columbia arranged for a Hertz car to be at the FBO. When I landed, they offered to bring the car to my C172 so I could load baggage from the plane into the car. This was wonderful, since time was tight. Thanks to Columbia, we made the wedding on time. Two days later, the mother of the bride, my sister who is battling cancer, wanted to go out for a ride in a convertible. Unfortunately, the cousin with a convertible had already left. I called Columbia on a Sunday and 15 minutes later I was driving a gorgeous red Mustang. Thanks to Columbia, my sister got her afternoon tour of the seashore and enjoyed the gentle breeze and fantastic weather. All our relatives were pretty awestruck. I take my hat off to Columbia.

Fuel is expensive, but that's not entirely Columbia's fault. Staff continues to be very friendly. Facilities are in good shape.
 
From Jason Herman on 22-Jul-2008
We made an unexpected stop at Groton on 7/21 (and 7/22) due to weather at Block Island and were planning on leaving the aircraft overnight and taking the ferry to Block. After calling Lanmar who said their overnight cost was $50/hr. After 9pm for our small Cessna 172, I called Columbia where $8 was the only cost, even for towing the plane from transient GA parking across the field to their FBO. The really cute girls at the front desk were very helpful in making arrangements to get us to the ferry, etc. We ended up returning later in the afternoon to fly to Block Island after the weather cleared up, and upon returning to the FBO, was insisted to take the $8 overnight fee back. (Talk about high quality customer service!) The facility was gorgeous and the service was fantastic. This is easily the best FBO I have ever visited. It could even be worth making a trip to Groton to see how this FBO got it right.
 
From Barry Burke Jr. on 20-Jul-2008
Really nice FBO w/ nice folks! Bought some gas, and the lineman got my special fueling instructions dead-on. Thanks!
 
From Darrell Klein on 04-Jun-2008
We used Columbia June 1-3 for a trip to Mystic. We were met by a lineman for parking and quickly and carefully fueled as requested. We were offered assistance unloading and tieing down. Our Sporty's Tiedown Straps were not long enough to reach the tiedown locations on the ramp so keep this in mind if staying here. Columbia quickly provided us with longer straps. Upon returning to Columbia on the 3rd, earlier than planned due to weather at our destination, Columbia's people quickly retrieved our bird from the parking area and parked it in front of the FBO. Fuel was not cheap and parking was $8.00 a night but we feel we received what we paid for, EXCELLENT service from every member of the staff we came into contact with! We will certainly use Columbia again. Nice Job!
 
From Alex Firescu, N-31588 on 10-Oct-2007
We stopped on Sunday night looking for fuel and food. We felt welcomed the minute we walked in. Although they where closing soon, Laura at the front, graciously let us use the crew car to grab a bite, while our plane got fueled. We where treated with freshly brewed coffee and complimentary soda. The staff, including the line crew where all very polite and professional. We'll definitely be back.
 
From Eric Sobel on 17-Jan-2007
Fantastic FBO! Came in the other day while I waited for some passengers and in the pilots lounge there were two private crew rooms that allowed me to take a refreshing nap. Everything you could want from an FBO and more. The facility is gorgeous and the receptionists are just the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Will be back many more times.
 
From Paul Blodorn on 16-Jan-2007
We flew into GON on 1/11/07 for an overnight trip to Foxwoods. The staff and services at Columbia could not have been better. They took care of my 172 and in the morning it was heated and ready to go. Call ahead for a rental car if going to the casinos, cheaper then taxi. Overall great service and great facilities.
