Albert Lea Airport (KAEL)

A really nice, modern facility. Jim, the airport manager, was very friendly and helpful, and he had plenty of stories to share. Our visit in the TBM 960 was very pleasant.

I stay here overnight frequently on business and it's one of my preferred spots. Staff is really friendly and accommodating with hangar & crew car. Jim is my go to guy when I'm planning to spend the night and he's always really nice about it!

Really fine Airport facilities, courtesy car available, lot of good and helpful people around. Fuel pump receipt printer wasn’t functioning, but I got one hand written receipt from the mechanic.

Had an unplanned landing at Albert Lee due to engine issue. Jim and his team went out of their way to assist. When we determined the engine issue could not be fixed immediately they found space in a heated hanger and out of freezing could temps. Good new facility with plenty of interesting history and amenities. Would be a fine fuel stop if you're in the area. BTW...be sure to ask jim to see his amazing world aviation records.

Really fine FBO. Landed with a leaky prop seal on a Sunday and Dan had it fixed the next day.
