What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Foley Municipal Airport (K5R4), also known as Holk Field, primarily serves general aviation and flight training, rather than commercial passenger traffic. Traveler sentiment, largely from pilots and those utilizing flight services, appears to be generally positive regarding the availability of necessary aviation services and its convenient location. There is no information available regarding commercial passenger experiences, such as terminal facilities, security wait times, or customs/immigration, as these are not applicable to this type of airport.

What Travelers Love (Pilots & General Aviation Users):

Comprehensive FBO Services: Lightning Aviation, the airport's full-service Fixed-Base Operator (FBO), provides a range of services including flight instruction, aircraft maintenance, rentals, and discovery flights.
Pilot Amenities: The airport offers a pilot lounge with restrooms and office area, and fuel (100LL) is readily available. Courtesy cars may also be available.
Convenient Location: The airport is located five miles from the Tanger Factory Outlet Center and approximately 15 miles from Gulf Shores and Alabama's beaches, making it accessible for local attractions.
Accessibility: The runway (3,700 x 75 ft asphalt) is in good condition, and the airport operates from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with lights available for night operations.

Common Complaints

Limited Parking & Tie-Downs: There is limited parking on the north ramp, and transient aircraft are advised to bring their own tie-down ropes for the south ramp. Overnight parking incurs a ramp fee.
No Commercial Services: As a general aviation airport, it lacks terminal facilities, security checkpoints, or customs/immigration services for commercial travelers.
Limited Operating Hours for Full Service: While the airport is accessible for flights beyond these times, full-service AVGAS is only available during normal operating hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).

Overall, Foley Municipal Airport (K5R4) is a well-regarded facility for private pilots and those engaged in flight training, offering essential services and convenient access to local attractions. However, it is not equipped for commercial passenger travel, and expectations should be aligned with its role as a general aviation airport.
