About Atlantic Aviation

Atlantic Aviation operates the second FBO at Meadows Field in Bakersfield, providing a chain-backed alternative to the family-owned Bakersfield Jet Center across the field. The facility at 1550 Skyway Drive offers Jet A and 100LL fueling, tie-downs, GPU service, oil, and hangar space. Atlantic Aviation's standard amenities package is in place, including a passenger lounge, Wi-Fi, and flight planning resources. The FBO can arrange catering, ground transportation, and rental cars for charter passengers. Bakersfield sits in the southern San Joaquin Valley, California's Central Valley, about 110 miles north of Los Angeles. The city is a hub for oil production, agriculture, and logistics, which drives consistent business aviation traffic. For charter passengers, the airport is also a useful stop for those headed to the Kern River Valley, Lake Isabella, or the southern approach to Sequoia National Park. Atlantic Aviation's presence at Meadows Field gives operators a choice between two FBOs on the field, which tends to keep fuel pricing competitive. The airport has two runways, with the primary stretching 10,857 feet, more than enough for any business aircraft type. The field sits at 507 feet elevation with generally good weather year-round, making it operationally reliable. Atlantic's nationwide network means that fuel contracts, loyalty programs, and service standards carry over from other Atlantic locations, which simplifies operations for charter companies that fly into Bakersfield as part of multi-stop itineraries. Ground access to downtown Bakersfield takes about 10 minutes from the FBO.

Operations at Meadows Field

Downtown Bakersfield is about 5 miles southeast of the airport, a 10 to 15 minute drive. Los Angeles is roughly 110 miles south via Highway 99 and Interstate 5, typically 1.5 to 2 hours without traffic. The Grapevine pass on I-5 can add time in bad weather or heavy congestion. Car rental counters are on-site. Rideshare and car services are available but supply is thinner than in major metro areas; arranging a car service in advance is advisable.
