Full-service FBO at Crestview Bob Sikes Airport (KCEW) with links to private air charter
Emerald Coast Aviation is a fixed-base operator (FBO) in Crestview, Florida. It is based at Crestview Bob Sikes Airport (KCEW). The company describes the airport as about 45 minutes from Destin and the rest of Florida's Emerald Coast, so it can serve as a general aviation stop for visitors to the area.
The company's main business is ground handling for visiting and based aircraft. Its website lists fuel sales, including Jet A, Jet A with Prist and 100LL avgas. It also lists other FBO services and aircraft maintenance. A pub on site, the Stick & Rudder Pub, is presented as part of the facility, and pilots and passengers can request reservations through the website.
For flyers looking for charter, the FBO's menu links to a private air charter service on a separate website, emeraldcoastaircharters.com. The FBO's own pages do not say whether that service flies its own aircraft under its own operating certificate or arranges flights with third-party operators. They also do not give fleet details. Flyers should confirm the operator of record and its certificate before booking.
The website names Jonathan Dunn in its staff section. It also posts weather-related operating notices, for example temporary closures during hurricanes. These closures depend on Okaloosa County airport operations declaring it safe to reopen. Flyers planning trips during storm season should check the current status before arrival.
