Online Reviews Summary

Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport (BKV), formerly known as Hernando County Airport (AR-0598), is a general aviation airport located near Brooksville, Florida, and is owned by Hernando County. Traveler sentiment for this airport is generally positive among its user base, which primarily consists of pilots, private aircraft owners, and individuals involved in flight training, corporate, and emergency medical operations. It is well-regarded for its comprehensive general aviation services and well-maintained facilities.

What Travelers Love

Comprehensive General Aviation Services: The airport is a full-service hub with multiple Fixed-Base Operators (FBOs) such as Brooksville Air Center and American Aviation, offering services like fueling, maintenance, and flight training. It also supports military training and emergency medical operations.
Well-Maintained Facilities: BKV features two concrete runways and full-length parallel taxiways, all reported to be in good condition. The airport also has a modern 2,400-square-foot passenger terminal building.
Convenience and Accessibility: Travelers appreciate the ample parking for vehicles and aircraft, car rental services for easy transportation, and free Wi-Fi within the comfortable passenger terminal. The airspace is described as "congestion-free".
Essential Amenities: The terminal provides comfortable seating areas and vending machines for snacks and beverages, catering to the needs of general aviation users.
Air Traffic Control Tower: The presence of an FAA contractor-operated air traffic control tower enhances safety and operational efficiency.

Common Complaints

No Commercial Airline Service: A primary characteristic, not a complaint, is that BKV does not offer scheduled commercial airline services, operating instead as a general aviation, charter, and executive service airport. This means it lacks the amenities typically found in commercial passenger terminals like extensive dining or retail options.
Limited Terminal for Passenger Comfort: While comfortable for its purpose, the terminal building is relatively small (2,400 sq ft) with 25 auto-parking spaces, which could be seen as limited for those accustomed to larger commercial airports.
Not Designed for Typical Commercial Travel: The airport's infrastructure and services are tailored for general aviation and related industries, meaning it wouldn't meet the expectations of a passenger seeking a traditional commercial flight experience. Security wait times and customs/immigration are not relevant concerns for general aviation users at this airport.

Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport is a highly functional and well-supported general aviation facility that serves its intended purpose effectively, providing a strong base for flight training, corporate aviation, and specialized air services in the Hernando County region. Its strengths lie in its comprehensive aviation services and well-maintained infrastructure, though it is not equipped for commercial passenger travel.
