What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Beverly Regional Airport (KBVY) generally garners positive sentiment from travelers, particularly those involved in general aviation and flight training, who appreciate it as a less congested alternative to larger commercial airports. Recent reviews highlight a friendly environment and ongoing facility improvements, though some operational aspects could be a source of frustration for transient visitors.

What Travelers Love

General Aviation Friendly: KBVY is often cited as a more accommodating and less hostile environment for general aviation compared to larger regional airports like Laurence G. Hanscom Field (KBED).
Friendly and Helpful Staff: The airport tower staff are consistently described as polite and helpful. Similarly, FBO ground staff have been noted for being quick, friendly, and efficient.
Excellent Flight Training Facilities: The airport hosts highly-regarded flight schools, such as the Beverly Flight Center, known for kind instructors and well-maintained aircraft.
Renovated FBO Amenities: FlightLevel Aviation (formerly North Atlantic Air) has undergone significant renovations, offering a "second to none" pilot's lounge with a 70" TV, comfortable recliners, and complimentary snacks and barista-worthy coffees. The facility also features a professionally appointed lobby.
Efficient Customs/Immigration: For international flights, KBVY is considered an efficient alternative to KBED, capable of facilitating quick turns for customs and immigration.
Good Runway Conditions: Travelers appreciate that GPS approaches are available for all runways, and the pavement is generally in good condition.

Common Complaints

Unexpected FBO Fees: Some travelers, particularly those making quick stops or not requiring full FBO services, have reported unexpected and sometimes high facility or overnight parking fees. It's advisable to verify fees or seek free transient parking near the tower if available.
Compromised IFR Approaches: Long-standing NOTAMs indicate increased minimums to non-precision for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) approaches due to surrounding trees.
Limited Commercial Passenger Amenities: As a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, KBVY lacks extensive retail shopping or dedicated passenger lounges commonly found in larger commercial airports. Dining options are mostly limited to local establishments off-airport.
Security Wait Times: While generally manageable, current estimated TSA security wait times are around 28 minutes, and immigration wait times are about 8 minutes.

Beverly Regional Airport remains a strong choice for general aviation, offering a welcoming atmosphere and robust flight training opportunities. While it may lack the extensive amenities of larger commercial hubs, its efficient operations, particularly for international general aviation, and recent FBO upgrades make it a favorable option for many travelers, provided they are aware of potential FBO fees and IFR approach limitations.
