Carmi’s southern Illinois airport reviews

From Karl Richcreek on 30-Jul-2016

Stopped in on the way home from Oshkosh on weather divert. Good fuel prices. Crew car available to get food in town. Nice folks, nice facilities and I would recommend this as a great stop.

From Lee Ensminger on 20-Oct-2015

I stopped twice recently at KCUL. What a nice facility! The building and restroom is available 24 hrs. and the self-serve fuel is a good deal. On my second visit I met the airport manager. Very friendly, and asked if I needed the crew car to get lunch. While Carmi is not a destination for me, it will always be an enroute stop when transitioning the area in the future. Highly recommended. Thanks for your hospitality!

From Blake Lemish on 12-Oct-2015

I was flying home to C62 from Tunica, MS and incurred a tough running engine. Landed in Carmi. I got fuel and inquired about a mechanic. Clay and company went out of their way to assist. My air intake hose was off. I was soon up and running thanks to their assistance and expertise. I would definitely recommend stopping in. Great fuel prices and friendly and accommodating staff. My thanks again!
