I made a weather divert into BFL on Sunday afternoon. The linemen at Bakersfield Jet Center/ Lloyds Aviation were right out there directing me in. The linemen took really good care of us, and then the lady at the desk organized a hotel and transportation for us. Really great, friendly and professional service.

Highly recommend - I fly in all the time with my Cirrus and a lineman is always waiting for me. Everyone associated with the FBO is friendly and courteous.

Highly recommend Bkrsfld Jet Center/Lloyds Aviation. I'm just a small fish (Piper Cherokee) pilot but they treated us like big iron. Line guys had our rental car parked next to our tie down and a red carpet!! Professional, nice staff, great lounge and flight planning facilities. Will return.

Used Bakersfield Jet Center on my most recent trip. The service was perfect. The facility was nice and the staff was extremely attentive and friendly. I'd highly recommend them to others flying into BFL.
