From Paul Sexton on 04-Oct-2008
In my 30 years of flying, I have never experienced the quality of service that I get from Columbia. This is a clean, friendly and well-run FBO.
 
From Allen Gilbert on 28-Sep-2008
Friendly staff, nice FBO. Pilot REST room, was good and dark. Hertz rental cars on site.
 
From Tim Hayes on 18-Sep-2008
While doing my long cross-country for my IFR ticket, my planes battery died at KLAL on a Sunday afternoon. If it weren't for the people at Columbia, it would have been a real pain in the ***, and expensive. These guys helped in every way possible and got me back in the air (with the help of Barry at Wing Waxers). They were beyond awesome! Thank you, thank you, and thank you.
 
From Joseph Turnbach on 16-Mar-2008
Flew in to KLAL to drop off a plane and pick one up at Columbia. I was chocked upon arrival and greeted right away by very accommodating staff. A nice mix on the ramp to include a Beechjet, Pilatus PC-12 and even three T-6 Trainers from the US Navy. I highly recommend Columbia!
 
From Chris Davis on 22-Jun-2007
Self-serve pump was broken but lineman gave me full at self-price and moved my PA28 into a tie-down slot. Nice WIFI access and friendly staff inside.
 
From Daniel Wiley on 31-Mar-2007
Flew down to KLAL on 3/29, and was very impressed with the service. Upon arrival, I was ushered to a nice parking spot next to a Gulfstream-IV. As soon as my prop stopped turning, an attendant had chocked my front wheel and asked if there was anything that they could do for me. I was going into town for a couple of hours, so while I was gone, they fueled the plane. I found the staff to be very helpful and courteous. The on-site Hertz Rentals worked great and I had a fresh late-model car to drive to my meeting. I hope to be back soon!
 
From Harold Marquette on 10-Mar-2007
Great FBO if you land at KLAL you need to go to Columbia CSR are great
 
From Bob Weaver on 02-Mar-2007
We arrived on the 23rd of April and had an unexpected, pleasant experience. Another pilot had suggested that I take advantage Columbia's services. From the guys on the line that early evening to the wonderful girl in the office we were treated great. Everyone was professional and very helpful. I will without a doubt return to do business with Columbia. Thanks again for everything.
 
From Lyle Prouse on 27-Feb-2007
My wife and I went to Columbia Air Services on 2-16-07. There was absolutely NO help from the line people as two of them stood nearby and watched us maneuver the airplane to park it, tie down, unload bags, and lug them into the FBO area. There were no chocks and I had to use my own along with one of my tie down straps. As we departed a few days later, Tommy could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Go figure.
 
From Jared Max Hendler on 21-Dec-2006
Great FBO! Friendly linemen and friendly desk personnel. If, however, you are arriving after they close, things get more complicated. I have visited many FBOs around the country and they all have a gate that lets you out late at night. You may not be able to get back in, but you can get out. That is not the case here. My fiancée and I had to jump the fence to leave the airport. We later learned the trick. One needs to call the Security Guard on his cell phone and he can let you out. His number is 863-860-1655. He doesn't monitor Advisory after the tower closes because he finds the police band more interesting.
 
From Lenore Collins on 27-Nov-2006
We flew into LAL about 6:30 one evening after a frustrating stop at Tallahassee Commercial (68J). FBO made all our troubles melt away — pleasant and helpful, and the cafe upstairs had a good menu, good food, good prices, and pleasant service.
 
From Chuck Snow on 20-Jul-2006
I was in Lakeland on business for 8 days and my plane was based at Columbia. I fly for a living and I have never had better service, or better people than they have at Columbia Air Service. I will always stop in there if I am in the area.
 
From Ralph Mellish on 17-Jul-2006
Very professional and accomodating. Arrived early to pick up passengers for an Angel Flight. They graciously provided a fuel discount for the charitable flight and went the extra mile to assure all was in order. Thanks!
 
From Glenn De Sena on 16-Jun-2006
In my experience, this is by far the better FBO at LAL (at least for pilots of aircraft not requiring a type rating). They go out of their way to help out, even giving a lift to my 1-year old and me when their crew car was unavailable.
 
From Tom Dilbeck on 20-Apr-2006
The FBO graciously provided their crew car so I could travel to a short meeting off airport. They were very helpful, friendly and hospitable. Aircraft was perfectly serviced, re-fuelled and we got on our way with no delay. Great folks to do business with.
 
From Bill Rehm on 17-Apr-2006
Great service for Sun N Fun. Had my camping gear shipped for pick up. They held it for me with no charge, came and picked me up at my tie down. Great service lots of smiles and pretty faces. Will put them on the top of my list of FBO'S.
 
From Jim Janaitis on 12-Apr-2006
Used Columbia at LAL during Sun N Fun. Fuel price was high but service was excellent. People very friendly and went out of their way to provide good service. I will use them again.
 
From Craig Barnett on 12-Apr-2006
I had a really bad experience with this FBO (see note below) 2 years ago and swore I would not be back. However, when I heard that Columbia had bought out Lakeland Air Services, I figured I would save myself being ripped off next door and try them out again during my week plus long stay at SnF. What a difference. The staff fell over themselves to be helpful, pleasant and efficient. The complete opposite of my previous experience. Fuel and parking were reasonable, car rental service was a snap and they really listened to my needs and special requests and complied without hesitation. This is my new home for Sun 'n Fun in the future.
 
From Jeff Johnson on 28-Mar-2006
Columbia provided great service. Tiedown $8 per night, but it is waved with fuel purchase.
