May 17, 2026Excellent airport, and the tower staff were genuinely helpful. Bakersfield Jet Center is an outstanding FBO-the staff were very welcoming and took care of arranging my hotel and rental car. Natasha, Malynn, Valeria, Bill, Hugo, and Mark are among the professionals I've had the pleasure of meeting. The maintenance team is highly knowledgeable, helpful, and definitely worth recommending for aircraft services.

April 25, 2026Nice airport. Epic Jet Center is a great stop, with a comfortable pilot lounge and a room for sleeping. ATC is friendly and helpful, and they can arrange flight following while you're still on the ground. Fuel costs a lot, but overall a good place to stop!
