Just found out the manager decided their line guys aren't qualified to use GPUs with small aircraft after they have been doing it for years. So call other FBOs if you need someone for a small plane jump.

Very good FBO, superb service.

Garbage... pay the extra fuel cost somewhere else. Unfriendly, slow, terrible service... wish I read the comments before coming here.

Castle and Cooke Aviation at KVNY has been consistently disappointing over nearly two years. Since getting the CAA fuel contract at my home field, service has been slow, unfriendly, and forgetful. The line crew roll their eyes when I arrive, refuse to fuel at my hangar, and once yelled at me after I parked where their own frequency told me to. KVNY has better FBOs—go anywhere else. If the culture changes, I’d give them another shot, but I’m not hopeful.

They stated their overnight charge for a Cessna 182 was $250 per night, which could be waived if 150 gallons of fuel were purchased (it takes roughly 7 gallons to fly my aircraft there, and I only have capacity for 75 gallons total). Consequently, I opted to fly in daily instead and was informed I would incur a $50 security charge. This is the sole FBO I have encountered at an airport without scheduled airline service that imposed a security fee. I chose the Prop Park instead.

We flew into Signature East in our C182 and were treated like we had a G4. The polite, friendly staff provided us with prompt service and a crew car. This will be our preferred FBO whenever we go to KVYN.
