Good facility with fine service. Personnel was prepared to assist in every manner. Called a week before and reserved hangar space for a 182 and they were ready for it, and enterprise had my rental there waiting when I arrived. Will certainly return. - Bill B.

I was a walk in to check out the FBO and layout. The young man (Eli?) at Executive was very cordial and answered all my inquiries. He mentioned they typically had a courtesy car on a first come basis and that Uber was a fine choice too. Self serve fuel is a bit away from executive over by the tower. I look forward to flying there shortly. garceau.joe.

Enjoyed visiting KLOU and Louisville Executive Aviation. Good service and simple in/out. Plan to come back again and frequently. Suggest to call ahead for special event rates. $25 landing fee was waived with fuel purchase for single engine piston.
