  If we have had better service, I don't recall. Terry, Jeremy, and Rosali were exceptional in taking care of every aspect of our trip during our brief stay in San Diego. They opened 2 hours early for us for our scheduled departure, they ensured that the passengers were not given any undue delay, they had the lag cart and fuel truck standing by, they set up a rental car for the crew, they stood by our cabin attendant to fulfill every need. This may sound routine for an FBO, but we know that isn't always the case. They went above and beyond with care and a smile. I can't wait to go back to Circle Air Group for the service alone. Thanks all.
 
From Ted Crosson on 29-Jan-2024

 
  I genuinely believe that Circle Air is one of the best FBOs in the system. For context and disclosure, I am a professional pilot who operates a couple of aircraft that are based there. I am confident in my rating of them based on many years as a pilot and my utilization of FBOs (both major brand and independent) throughout the country. If I had to pick one thing that sets them apart, it would be their staff. Circle has some of the best staff that I encounter anywhere, and I see them providing the same level of service that we receive to transient aircraft as well. Jeremy, Roger, Terry, Ben, Jessie, Chancy, and the line staff are attentive, professional with the pilots and passengers, and are always anticipating needs and providing solutions. The office staff (Sonia and Rosalie) are incredibly professional and our passengers love them. The facilities are top notch. You can't do better than Circle.

  The experience that Circle Air provides is outstanding! I am one of the pilots for Chopper 8, and we have been operating out of Circle Air for about four years now. Line service, like Jeremy, Roger, and Jessie, are always timely and taking the best care of us. Sonia and Rosalie at the front desk are helpful with any requests we have too. Everyone here takes such great care of us, and is so friendly. The facilities here are also very clean. With the lobby being a great spot for viewing other aircraft flying in!

  We operate a Global 6000 aircraft based in TLV. Every summer our owner visits the San Diego area with his family. This year we decided to try out an alternative airport to KSAN and found that KSEE is suitable for most of our planned flights in the area. We've reached out to Sonia from Circle Air Group, and since the first conversation with her, we knew it would be a great choice. As we got closer to our trip, we had more and more demands from our owner regarding the schedule and some more special requests, Sonia made sure everything was tied up for our arrival. When we arrived with 10 PAX, the service was absolutely above all expectations, the ground staff was welcoming and very efficient. Throughout our stay and local flights, Sonia and her team made sure everything went smoothly for us and even helped us with a rental car problem that we had. Other than that, we got a great price for our entire trip. We couldn't ask for more! We will surely arrive again next summer!

  Circle Air is an outstanding FBO for people that fly home-built / experimental aircraft to the heavy metal of corporate jets. I was welcomed by a friendly Lineman in a fuel truck almost as soon as my prop stopped spinning. The maintenance facilities are impressive as are the staff's capabilities, including avionics. It's a great place to stop in because the fuel is aggressively priced, the lobby evokes a military museum, and they have plenty of rental cars. Oh, they have self-serve, too! Best FBO in SoCal.
 
From Scott Glaser on 23-Apr-2021

 
  Circle Air is hands down the best FBO I have ever been to. The people are friendly and professional. The service is top notch! Highly Recommend!
 
From Paul Smith on 23-Apr-2021

 
  Absolutely the best FBO I've ever visited. Excellent and professional service!! I'll keep coming back.
 
From Andrew Patton on 23-Apr-2021

 
  Best FBO experience I have ever had. Awesome facility with plenty of space, spring-loaded line guys to fuel rapidly, and all for a very low avgas price. Highly recommend, especially loved the entire fighter aviation themed decor.
 
From John Flippen on 05-Mar-2021

 
  We had such a great experience the last time we were here we decided to come back. We were 10 airplanes attending a formation clinic with T34s T6 RV Epsilon and the staff there was fantastic. We will continue to use Circle as our go to place for formation training in the SoCal area. Fuel trucks were pumping, they fueled us everyday for 4 days 5 flights a day. 3-4 planes per flight. Very good job and thanks again to Sonia and the office staff, Ali's big shout out to Jeremy, Roger Ben Christian and anyone else on the line staff.... See you next time. Flipper
 
From Inger Fahmi on 27-Dec-2020

 
  Circle Air has always been a top-notch FBO. I called around noon on Christmas Eve and they were able to get a rental car ready and waiting at our arrival time later that day. Line crew is always totally 'on it.' My fuel order was filled promptly prior to departure. The facility is clean, new, and the staff is always super friendly.
 
From John Flippen on 06-Aug-2020

 
  11 T-34's arrived at The Circle Air Ramp for a 7-day formation training event. We were treated like royalty. The Line Crew and Office Support staff was exceptional. They only had a few days notice that we were coming too. We had a great time and were really impressed with the facility, the briefing rooms, and the amenities. We are now planning the next Formation Training Events and will certainly visit San Diego for sure. This is THE place to come for all your flying needs.
 
From Brian Smith on 22-Jul-2020

 
  The facilities at Circle Air are outstanding, but the overall customer experience is exceptional. From the fuel trucks to the reception desk, it's all 5-star!! I'd highly recommend this company to any visitor to Gillespie Field.
 
From Kent Field on 20-Jul-2020

 
  I have had several great experiences with Circle. Easy to deal with. They are very willing to help you with any problem that you may have. Wonderful staff. I can't recommend them high enough. If you don't want to taxi to their ramp they will send a fuel truck to you.
 
From John Reed on 19-Jul-2020

 
  Many thanks for the excellent support we received from the Circle Air FBO staff during our T-34 Formation Training Clinic. The ability to use your conference, flight planning, briefing, and break rooms made it possible to complete more training than we had expected. Keeping our aircraft fueled and serviced between flights helped also.
 
From Gerry Koehler on 01-Feb-2020

 
  They may specialize in jets, but they treated us like royalty in our little Cherokee. The young lady at the front desk as well as the ramp staff were super friendly and helpful as we dropped by to get gas and pick up 6 puppies for a Pilots N Paws ride to Santa Barbara. Awesome place with great gas prices. We will definitely be back. Thanks for everything.
