Rapid City Regional Pilot Reviews:
Thomas W.
June 19, 2026Stopped in for a few days to visit the Badlands. The WestJet staff were really friendly, and they had some amusing coffee cups and other things playing off the "KRAP" name. I'd read a few remarks saying the controllers could be pretty terse, but I was told that particular person isn't there anymore. Everyone I dealt with was easygoing, and they made the entire experience a lot of fun.

May 28, 2026West Jet Air - Fancy! Really GA friendly! Fantastic lounge, with several quiet rooms where pilots can relax or grab some shut eye. Local ATC is GA friendly too! The little guys are welcomed.

May 17, 2026The controllers were friendly, and the airport was easy to deal with. WestJet made the whole visit a great experience, with fair fuel and tie-down rates for our 3-night stay.
