- 7/30/21Great airport iffy FBOHarold R.The runways are absolutely perfect. The airport in beautiful. Absolutely would not use West Jet. There is a smaller FBO on the end. Use them unless you're desperate.
- 6/2/17JOSEPH F.Joe F 06/02/2017 Was in Rapid City for 6 days seeing the sites which are awesome. Tied down at Westjet. Staff, especially the front desk ladies, were very helpful with accommodation recommendations, rental car info, etc. Drove me main terminal to pic…
- 7/21/16NANCY A.Just recently at Westjet. We traveled cross country and found Westjet to be great. They found us lodging at a big discount. Hangered the AC at a very decent rate and slept well with hail 10 away. Highly recommend. Hertz car rental, not good. Unrespon…
- 6/15/15JASON G.Awesome FBO (Westjet). Our car was ready and waiting. They put the aztec in the hangar for a very reasonable fee. When it hailed that evening, I just smiled. Very professional and courteous, even for the little guys.
- 8/4/14JAMES G.Can't say enough good things about the guys at WestJet. My wife and I arrived at KRAP at 8:30 PM a couple weeks ago. The hotel we reserved in Rapid City booked our arrival on the wrong date and due to a music festival in town, was now full (as were t…
- 5/10/14RON R.Pulled into L&D after hours on a Friday. Gentleman there was working on a personal project but took time to assist us and point us in the right direction to get fuel, best tie down and a room for the night. Very good service considering he wasn't eve…
- 2/2/14JASON W.Today, Super Bowl Sunday, my family was departing from KRAP for home after a great weekend when we had a starter that wouldn't engage. After option a, b, and c were unsuccessful we found our way to L & D aero. 40 min. later we were on our way. When I…
- 9/8/13THOMAS K.We used the self-service fuel and parked in the free, transient tie-down area. The folks at Westjet were kind enough to pickup us and our luggage in a golf cart. The car rental folks delivered our car to Westjet and we returned it to Westjet for the …
- 8/6/13MIRANDA R.I have stopped at Westjet several times and each time have had a wonderful experience. If I need a rental car they will bring it out to the airplane for me and help load my bags. I choose to put my aircraft in the hangar because of Rapid City's unpre…
