Million Air will embark on a $5 million renovation on its FBO terminal at Utah’s St. George Regional Airport (KSGU). The facility is the <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2023-07-24/million-air-adds-fbo-network-utah?qt-latest_trending=1">newest location</a> under Freeman Holdings, the largest franchisee in the 37-location chain.
Set to begin in February, the project will expand the 8,300-sq-ft, two-story building by 5,500 sq ft and will include the addition of a full-service café with balcony and outdoor seating offering a view of the flight line and the surrounding scenery, as well as a coffee and refreshment bar in the remodeled lobby, an upgraded pilot lounge and snooze rooms, and dedicated flight planning area. In addition, it will offer shower facilities, a theater room, an audio/video-equipped conference room, and a training room. The FBO will continue to operate from the terminal during the eight-month reconstruction, serving general aviation, business aviation, and military traffic at KSGU, which features a 9,300-foot runway.
Since it took over the 20-acre facility just north of the commercial terminal this past summer, Million Air has invested in upgrading the ground service equipment with new 5,000-gallon and 3,000-gallon jet-A refuelers, aircraft tug, GPU, potable water cart, and lavatory cart. The FBO also includes 14,000 sq ft of hangar space.
“With these enhancements, we aim to set a new standard for excellence at the airport and offer a welcoming environment for all those who pass through our doors,” said Freeman Holdings Group CEO Scott Freeman.

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
