What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

New Coalinga Municipal Airport (KC80/CLG) primarily serves general aviation and private flights, rather than commercial passenger traffic, meaning traditional "traveler reviews" from commercial flyers are not available. Traveler sentiment for pilots using the airport generally points to its utility for small to medium-sized aircraft, but with some notable operational limitations and inconsistencies in services. The airport is often highlighted as a convenient entry point for exploring the San Joaquin Valley.

What Travelers Love

Pilot-Friendly Amenities: The airport offers a pilot's lounge for relaxation and flight planning, complete with weather briefing facilities.
24-Hour Fuel (with a caveat): While 24-hour fuel availability (Avgas and Jet A) is advertised, pilots are advised to call ahead for pricing and availability regarding 100LL fuel, as there have been conflicting reports on its consistent availability.
Aircraft Parking and Tie-Downs: Tie-down services are available for aircraft, ensuring secure parking. Additionally, hangar and general parking options are provided.
Hassle-Free Private Flying: Its small size allows for quick check-ins and less waiting time for private travelers.
Well-Maintained Primary Runway: Runway 12/30 (5,000 ft) is described as well-maintained and in fair condition.

Common Complaints

Closed and Damaged Runway: Runway 01/19 is currently closed due to its failed surface, potholes, and brush, making it unusable for aircraft.
AWOS Out of Service: The Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS), a crucial tool for pilots, has been reported as out of service.
No Commercial Services or Customs: The airport does not offer commercial airline services and customs services are unavailable, limiting its use for international travel or those relying on scheduled flights.
Inconsistent Fuel Information: While generally advertised, there are conflicting reports, including one from the City of Coalinga, indicating that fuel might not be available, necessitating a call ahead to confirm.

Overall, New Coalinga Municipal Airport is a functional general aviation facility, particularly beneficial for private pilots needing a smaller, less congested airport with basic amenities and a well-maintained main runway. However, significant concerns regarding the closure of one runway, potential fuel availability issues, and an out-of-service AWOS indicate operational challenges that pilots should be aware of and verify before arrival.
