Million Air (Booth N2327) expanded its network last week with the opening of its newest FBO at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas. This new location represents the FBO network's fourth in the state and its 31st globally.
The gala grand opening and ribbon-cutting in Auston was held last Thursday for hundreds of guests, featuring a private concert by country music star Aaron Tippin, as well as a mini static display that included one of the remaining few airworthy Beechcraft Starships, in addition to a King Air 350i, Citation M2, and Bell 505.
Groundbreaking on the $40 million, 20-acre facility began in 2018, and the company began providing service from a temporary facility earlier this summer. The spacious two-story terminal has a 14,500-sq-ft lobby with elegant seating groups, wood and granite features, a marble-framed fireplace, and wood-beam ceilings, as well as private sky lounge bar, complementary Starbucks-trained barista and refreshment bars, pilot’s lounge with snooze rooms and shower facilities, wraparound ramp-side balcony, flight planning room, and a pair of conference rooms with available concierge fine service.
The newest of three service providers at the airport, it also includes a 6,750-sq-ft aircraft arrivals canopy, more than seven acres of ramp space, and seven hangars ranging in size from 15,600 sq ft to 19,950 sq ft, each a stand-alone facility with independent secure parking and entries. With 28 foot-high doors, they can easily accommodate ultra-long-range business jets up to a Gulfstream G650. Aircraft maintenance is also available on site.
