What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Traveler experiences at Sequoia Field (KD86), officially known as Visalia Municipal Airport (KVIS), are largely shaped by its current status as a general aviation airport with no scheduled commercial air service since January 2016. Traveler sentiment, therefore, primarily reflects the experiences of private pilots and those utilizing the airport for parking and connecting to commercial flights elsewhere. Overall satisfaction for general aviation users appears to be adequate for a "no-frills" facility, while those seeking commercial passenger services will find it lacking.

What Travelers Love

Free Long-Term Parking: The airport offers free long-term parking for up to 10 days, a significant convenience for travelers.
Bus Connection to Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT): A V-LINE bus service connects Visalia Airport to Downtown Visalia, Downtown Fresno, and Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT). Free extended parking is offered at Visalia Airport for those using this bus service to connect to commercial flights out of Fresno.
Relatively Short Security/Immigration Times: Current data, updated as of late November 2025, indicates TSA security wait times around 26-28 minutes and immigration wait times around 8 minutes, though the context for these times at an airport without scheduled commercial service is likely for general aviation or private international flights.
Helpful Line Staff (General Aviation): For general aviation users, the line staff are noted as helpful with fuel orders.

Common Complaints

No Scheduled Commercial Air Service: The most significant complaint is the absence of scheduled commercial flights from Visalia Municipal Airport. It has not had commercial service since January 2016 and is not eligible to request funding for such service until April 30, 2026.
Basic, No-Frills Facilities: Reviews describe the airport as a "basic municipal airport" with limited amenities, catering primarily to general aviation rather than commercial passengers.
Limited Amenities: Beyond basic airport operations, travelers should not expect extensive terminal facilities, shops, or restaurants.
No Marshaling Services (General Aviation): Some general aviation pilots note the lack of marshaling services.

In summary, Visalia Municipal Airport (KVIS) serves well as a general aviation hub with convenient, free parking and a valuable bus connection to Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) for commercial travel. However, prospective commercial travelers must understand that the airport currently does not offer commercial passenger flights, positioning it as a functional but no-frills facility for its primary users.
