From Bill Cola on 04-Apr-2008
Wonderfully friendly, attentive, and professional service... Even in a C182. Thanks, I'll be back!
 
From Rico Sharqawi on 10-Mar-2008
Flew into VNY on Friday 3-8 and went to Skytrails based on the feedback from this site. I was not disappointed! We parked right away and gas truck was there in 2 minutes. The plane needed an oil change so I asked the front desk for a recommendation for an on-field service place, they recommended Continental and gave me Simon's cell number. They towed the plane to his shop on the other side of the airport just north of the tower. Great service....
 
From Garrett Thill on 09-Nov-2007
I have flown in here a few times now in a Cessna 182 I was treated like I flew in on a Citation! Great linemen service, they help you into your tiedown, bring a golf cart and unload your baggage and give you a ride to the front. They are very friendly people. I will always come into Skytrails.
 
From Brian Ford on 02-Nov-2007
I flew in to VNY a few months ago, which was quite stressful for someone not used to such a busy airport, but the people at Skytrails were fantastic to work with. They were incredibly helpful, even if I was in a little plane. I actually canceled my car reservations elsewhere to use their in house rental company it was much cheaper.
 
From Tim Lewis on 27-Aug-2007
First Class FBO! Called a few hours in advance and they arranged my rental car and booked a hotel for me. On arrival, the very busy lineman sprinted over to guide my little Archer in and pull up the rental car in spite of the fact he was dealing with several major jet movements. The experience at the counter on arrival and departure was lightning fast, efficient, and friendly. After my next "16R" landing, I'll be back to Skytrails!
 
From Roger Freedman on 06-Jul-2007
Skytrails at VNY is a great operation! The last time I was at Skytrails, one fellow was working on the ramp that was rather older than the other rampers. He volunteered to come over and help me pull my SR20 out of its parking spot. He turned out to be the owner! I can't think of any other FBO in that category where the boss himself comes out to help. He could have been across the ramp tending to John Travolta's G-IV, but instead he was helping out the 'little guy.' After that experience, I wouldn't think of going anyplace else at Van Nuys.
 
From Richard W. Schober on 27-Mar-2007
Great service day or night. I have been into Skytrails during all hours and I have never had a problem with service. They have always met every need quickly and promptly. - The only thing I have bad to say and this is the only thing is that the night crew does not know how to setup an AC power cart. - VNY is noise sensitive at night so a power cart is the best way around running the APU.
 
From Rodger Barkoff on 15-Feb-2007
I just spent two nights at Skytrails. Although they were very nice and very friendly, they do have a $20.00/night ramp fee. They apparently only will waive the fee for one night if you purchase fuel.
 
From Chuck Kissner on 16-Dec-2006
I would like to compliment the staff at Skytrails. On a recent visit, we had a Hertz car reserved. Evidently, the local Hertz office forgot to deliver the car ahead of time. Since the Hertz office was closed at the time we were arriving, Skytrails took the initiative of calling another Hertz office and getting a car delivered in time for our arrival. This was seamless to us. We only discovered there was an issue after landing. This is the kind of service that keeps customer loyalty.
 
From Daren Sorenson on 01-Aug-2006
Great service FBO. Booked our rental car and hotel and brought the car out to our parking spot and was waiting for us on arrival. Expensive Oxygen refill, about twice the normal price for O2, but can't complain about the great service. Stayed at Airtel on the field and would recommend that place to anyone.
 
From Lee Carson on 19-Jun-2006
During recent stops in our SII, everyone extended professional and courtesy service. We try to call ahead of arrival; it helps line service, as well as front desk personnel. During each visit, they graciously provided a new Volvo for lunch nearby. They will be our sole source for future visits to VNY.
 
From Jeff Keesaman on 22-Mar-2006
First time into KVNY, I left my plane at Skytrails while in a business meeting. Treated very well, recieved my AOPA fuel discount and got free parking with my whopping 7.1 gal 100LL top off! I will use them again when I go back.
 
From Robert French on 13-Feb-2006
I used Skytrails for the first time this weekend (I've been using Petersen's). My initial experience was excellent - very friendly lady on the phone, attentive linemen when I arrived. They were right there with a golf cart, helped unload the luggage, and even helped put the cover on my Saratoga. They gave a ride in the golf cart the short distance to the FBO building. I put in an order for full fuel and to have the plane staged at 5pm Sunday (I arrived Friday night). Arrived back Sunday at 7pm. The plane hadn't been pulled out and hadn't been fueled. To their credit, they did pull it out within 5 minutes, and fueled it quickly while I was preflighting. They charged me the AirNav guaranteed fuel price without asking. They only waive one night's parking with fuel purchase. Additional nights are $8/night. They have pretty cheap gas compared to the rest of the FBOs on the field, though, so it more than breaks even for a weekend stay. I expect to use them again on my next trip to VNY.
 
From Lars Helgeson on 20-Nov-2005
SkyTrails was possibly the best FBO experience I have ever had. Not only was the staff professional and helpful, their prices were affordable and the line personnel were efficient and friendly. The owner even brought us in a minivan to a nearby hospital and picked us up -- way beyond the call of duty! Every time I come to KVNY, I'm stopping here.
 
From Charles D. Kemp on 19-Sep-2005
When we arrived at Skytrails last Friday evening we were on our way to dinner in 15 minutes. The line staff pushed the plane back into its parking spot and helped me secure and cover her. They brought the rental car around to the plane and loaded the bags. The desk staff were great, as usual. When we returned to depart on Sunday, the lineman noted that the fuel order hadn't been filled yet, so it was taken care of by the time I finished my pre-flight. No delay at all. They loaded the bags in the plane, parked the rental car, and helped me with the cover. It's so nice to be treated to this kind of customer service whether you roll up in a Gulfstream or a Cherokee. Skytrails is the Best!
 
From Juan Calderon on 05-Sep-2005
Went to Van nuys to visit friend. Staff was great, quick even in 100 heat. Will fly into Skytrails again and ramp fee is waived for fuel purchase. Fuel cheaper than at home base.
 
From G. Silver on 13-Aug-2005
Arrived 8-9-05 at 16:30, our Enterprise rental car was brought to the aircraft upon arrival and the line guys and office staff were very friendly and helpful. The aircraft was fueled and awaiting our departure on 8-12-05. The rental car was handled expeditiously and I give this FBO two tumbs up.
 
From Art Schumer on 09-Jun-2005
I returned to KVNY last week and, this time, the folks at SkyTrails did a wonderful job of taking care of our needs. Our airplane was ready to go when we were, the fueling was done when it was supposed too and they went out of their way to make sure all went right this time. I appreciated their desire to overcome the negatism of my visit last week. They'll be on my list to use on my next visit to KVNY.
